  1. ONLINE LEARNER TYPES

  2. Four Types of Online LearnersACCORDING TO PHIL DARG, ADJUNCT ONLINE INSTRUCTOR AT LAKE SUPERIOR COLLEGE • Achievers • Taskers • Ball-droppers • Ghosts

  3. ACHIEVERS • We all know the achievers. They have excellent academic skills, and we all wish we had more of them in our classes. • Online learning is the achiever’s godsend. They can continue their usually busy life and add an online course or two, taking it well in stride and performing well. • Achievers generally make up between 10 percent and 20 percent of our class.

  4. TASKERS • The tasker is a hard worker, but perhaps college doesn’t come so easily as it would to an achiever. • Taskers have moderate to high academic skills; they may or may not have taken an online course before. • Taskers generally want to know when things are due and need structure. • Taskers make up approximately 40 to 50 percent of our online class.

  5. BALL-DROPPERS • The ball-dropper is the student who may be academically challenged or have moderate skills. Many may have not taken an online course. • Ball-droppers are motivated after the fact (missed that test, missed that deadline, etc.) • Ball-droppers are not checking in on the class as they should. • Ball-droppers make up approximately 20 to 25 percent of our online class.

  6. GHOSTS • We have all had ghosts in our class. They’re registered for the class but nothing is registering in their brain about it. • Ghosts generally have poor academic skills. • Many are inexperienced to online courses and not really motivated. • Ghosts make up approximately 5 to 10 percent of our online course.

  7. How Do We Motivate Each of the Four Types of Online Students?
