Power to the Introvert
• Distance education could well be the introvert’s stomping ground.
Introverts appear extroverted online
Introverts are better able to take time, reflect, and present themselves through text; they are less dependent upon face-to-face interaction
“Introverts are more adept at creating a virtual environment because they process information internally and are less outgoing socially.” (Palloff and Pratt)
