Instructors must ensure coursework and assignments allow everyone a chance to use their own best skills and personality traits to complete the learning and contribute to the course. Student personality types can be assessed early on with a list of four completion questions that require stduents to describe their own personality, preferences, etc. These can be used to design coursework that allows for all to succeed. For instance, blue students may enjoy group work the most and need to be able to communicate with others frequently. Gold students like deadlines, rules and procedures and may be more comfortable with strit deadlines and more concrete instructions for assignments. Green personalities need to know that the work they are doing is meaningful to there learning, so it will be important to them to have relevance-stating introductions to activities, and to de-brief after the activity. Orange need to be mobile, so will be most comfortable with assignments they can complete "any time, any place." Although they may need structure to keep them on track, they may chafe at too much structure. This is a good guideline to ensure all these preferences are represented in at least some components of the course. I will also try to identify these personality traits at the outset to give each student a chance to shine.
