Q: What are the important things about me as a learner? How will it benefit me as a student if I better understand myself as a learner?
Your Learner Profile is an important part of who you are. It describes the ways in which you learn best. It includes information on your interests, learning preferences and styles, and differences related to your gender, culture and personality. It also might include information on your learning strengths, needs and types of supports that have been successful in the past. A learner profile is continually evolving. You will take several self-assessment quizzes that will be shared on a LEARNER PROFILE PAGE added to your Mahara e-portfolio. Be sure to share you page.
