Tips
Individual differences are “characteristic modes of perceiving, remembering, thinking, problem solving, and decision making, reflective of information-processing regularities that develop in congenial ways around underlying personality trends”(Messick, 1994, p. 122).

Research has shown that a course management system like Blackboard can be tailored to individual differences, and thus, reduces anxiety.
