Transparency means giving yourself to know to other people. So what and how much information should you place in your personal presentation? Its up to you really. But remember to keep private issues private, and protect yourself from too much exposure.

GET OR BECOME A LEARNING PARTNER. SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE , LEARN MORE
Cooperation is best achieved through transparency - the information that people in
a learning network share among themselves in different levels ( personal, social and in learning itself) is vital to promote insights of the group and for the
group. This information whether put forward through personal presentations or
through the work ( writings, blogs,films...) people produce, helps foster
cooperation and better understanding of other people's interests and learning
process along with their skills, frustrations and developments.
Learning with and from one's peers can be a plus in our learning process because we share similar cognitivive structures.
Other advantages are the emotional support . With a suitable learning partner motivation rises and the feeling of isolation and loneliness vanishes.
