Abstract

With the continuous increase in online student enrollment, it is important to examine the learning/teaching process in the online learning environment in order to develop the most effective model in this unique environment. This chapter will explore various e-learner and e-educator styles and teaching strategies in the online environment. Theories and an evaluation of their appropriateness in an online learning environment will be presented. The impact of learning styles, social styles, decision styles, and generational styles in the online learning environment will be analyzed. Additionally, there will be a discussion of the characteristics and traits of the successful e-learner, successful e-educator, and successful course and curriculum design model based on specific theories and styles.
