Abstract

Research has shown that demographic factors such as age, race, ethnicity and gender affect one’s communication skills, learning style preference, and consequently, one’s preferences for aspects of on-line learning. This chapter will explore the literature related to these issues (i.e., age, race, gender) as they affect students’ preferences for and success with various styles of on-line learning (e.g., distance learning, hybrid or blended courses, mobile learning technology).
