ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the learner as a whole and complex person, more than simply a learner. It considers some of the wider aspects of personality and focuses on the learning behaviours that form the basis for many of the interactions between teacher and learner. Learners are encouraged to answer questions with the answer that best suits their likely response; they can select more than one answer for a particular question. The questions provide specific but universal experiences to elicit people’s preferred responses and therefore their preferred learning style. Learners may want to build up a list of ‘bookmarks, or access their own browsing history, they could save useful documents and generally set up their profile so that the virtual environment is a comfortable place to be. Without this set-up, learners are likely to continue ‘hot-desking’ their log-ins and not settling into their own virtual space.
