- Activists need a range of different activities to keep them occupied. They like to 'hold the floor' (or conference), and be able to bounce ideas off others. Asynchronous learning caters for all these needs very well.
- Reflectors probably benefit most in asynchronous discussions. They benefit from the opportunity to engage with the learning and think deeply, and to give considered responses in asynchronous discussion.
- Pragmatists need to have opportunities to try out what they have learnt. They need online activities that allow them to evaluate what they have learnt.
- Theorists need time to explore links between ideas and situations. Asynchronous activities would suit these learners well, allowing time for exploration. Opportunities for lots of structured and appropriate interaction are likely to appeal to them.
