Personality and collaborative learning experience

This paper explored whether a consideration of the personality type of each learner would extend collaborative learning experiences under a distant learning or e-learning environment, with a hypothesis that the collaboration among learners who have different types of personality may be effectively facilitated and motivated. An experiment was performed to examine this hypothesis. The findings from this study indicated that the collaborative task performance with different personality learners was better off, suggesting a practical implication of designing collaborative learning technologies.
