creator Papaioannou, Georgia-niki advisor Landis, Ronald S. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential effects of technology and personality on training using a computer based learning environment designed to improve learning through technology-delivered instruction. Data were collected from a sample of undergraduate students (N = 98), recruited from three universities (two in the US and one in Canada), who participated in both experimental days. Condition had no effect on learning outcomes, while Conscientiousness was found to be significantly correlated with academic performance. In further analyzing the relationship between personality and learning outcomes across time using a latent growth curve model results showed non-significant conclusions for the direction of the relationship for each of the Big Five. Discussion of the results and implications for practice and future research are provided. In conclusion, this study provides a basis for considering personality characteristics when designing computer-based training interventions in organizational settings.
