Contrary to stereotypes, introverts often excel in online education—when they leverage their natural strengths. At Paris American International University (PAIU), we’ve identified optimal approaches for introverted learners to thrive.

The Introvert Advantage

1. Thoughtful Participation

• Discussion boards allow crafted responses (unlike spontaneous class comments)

• Request advance agendas for live sessions to prepare talking points

3. Customized Learning Environments

  • Noise-canceling headphones
  • Low-stimulation backgrounds
