Sažetak
To implement e-learning tools and concepts properly in a higher education hybrid learning environment it is necessary to make appropriate educational decisions. Issues investigated in this research study are: is there a difference between the result achieved by students of different preferred learning styles when the mode of delivery of materials is either textual or visual ; can the way of learning material presentation affect the success in tasks given to students regardless of the preferred learning style. In addition, given that the tasks in online and hybrid learning environments are usually time-limited, the question is does time management skill affect the results of students. These questions were explored in an experimental study with 444 university students enrolled in a course that runs in a hybrid learning environment. The students were randomly divided into 12 groups, with six groups accessing e-learning material, a description of a procedure, delivered in plain text format while the other six groups accessed e-learning material in the form of a diagram/picture illustrating the same procedure. The materials were comparable in terms of learning content. Research results indicate that scores achieved by students on a time-limited test are not influenced by students' preference towards a particular learning style, but are more related to other factors such as the ability to manage the available time, computer skills, whether or not a topic is interesting and structure of the materials. The implications of the results may be important in the context of decision-making process in terms of selecting between two types of e-learning material in a hybrid learning environment.
