Abstract: This Best Practices session shares the issues, solutions and learning strategies identified from a research project exploring and comparing the impact of personality types and learning styles on attitudes towards e-learning in nurses studying ethics in a British university and an American university. The initial findings of this study which revealed a number of intrinsic inhibitors and motivators related to personality type and learning style were presented in a brief paper at E-Learn 2004. These have now been linked to the different tiers of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as well Bloom’s learning taxonomy enabling the identification of a number of specific strategies embracing personality types and learning styles that educators can adopt to help overcome negative attitudes and behaviours regarding e-learning.
