Personalized Education: Adaptation to Learning Styles

Research in education confirms that adaptation to learning styles brings many benefits to students’ learning activities. The ease of use of adaptive learning systems is increased, student enjoy more comfortable learning experience and achieve higher learning performance. The paper presents an adaptive on-line course on Moodle learning management system. The course is consisted of lessons, a series of HTML pages, while each lesson is developed by a new Moodle module called AdaptiveLesson. The module is built as an extension of the Lesson module, so it upgrades the Lesson module functionality with new adaptivity features. With respect to Felder-Silverman learning style model (FSLSM) adaptivity mechanisms implement several techniques to provide content adaptation and adaptive navigation support. In order to evaluate the AdaptiveLesson module, an evaluation approach with complementing usability techniques was proposed. The methodology brings together end-user testing and expert inspections, additionally providing insight into module’s technical and pedagogical usability.
