(6) How suitable is the form of online learning to the skills and interests of the individual learner?
Learning characteristics, as informed by research, vary for each individual learner.
To bring order in concepts related to individual learner differences, Curry (1983) designed the three-layered onion model.
Ultimately, the individual learner can provide feedback that he or she is seeing a change and would recommend it.
In this paper I provide a brief overview of historical efforts to create a scaled system of education for all children that also acknowledged individual learner variability.
Creativity and individual development have been lost to the delivery of a prescribed amount of reading, writing and maths based on schemes of work that may not relate to the individual learner.
From these lessons, we can build tailor-made solutions that give each individual learner a voice, gives them ownership over their learning and allows them to personalise not only their what, when and how but also their where, their school!
This study addresses the issue of individual learner variation, quality and intensity of the input, and the effects of the SA context.
Unfortunately, current 'education' systems focus almost exclusively on the individual learner and have separated the learner from the praxis of the lived life.
Restated, the proposed method can help teachers to precisely assess the learning performance of individual learner utilizing only the learning portfolios in a web-based learning environment.
Each course will be tailored to the needs of the individual learner, but the quality and integrity of each degree will be strictly monitored to ensure the correct standards are being maintained.
