Accommodators

Those with an accommodating learning style like to “feel “and “do”: a combination of concrete experience and active experimentation. They act on intuition rather than logic and rely on others for information rather than independent analysis. They learn well by trial and error. Accommodators are attracted to action oriented professions such as teaching and nursing. Accommodators will not be lurkers. They may be the first people to post completed tasks. They will enjoy working together on the group tasks and may enjoy being the group leader as this role requires quick decisions, making a plan and carrying it out. However, they will need to take care to be sensitive to those who take longer to reflect on tasks (assimilators). Accommodators will enjoy the tasks of the first module which ask users to jump around the VLE to discover how it works. Since they are risk-takers by nature, they will push all the buttons and going into the café to post and just to see what’s there. They will try to start a wiki and embed videos. They may not be eager to do the reflection tasks; their reflections will be based on their instinctive reactions to tasks. They will prefer to attack new tasks than reflect on past ones. They might also need encouragement to read and reflect on the contributions of other participants.
