Three different types of context-aware mobile learning applications were revealed in our literature review – location-dependent, location-independent and situated learning. Our theoretical framework – mobile context-aware adaptive learning schedule (mCALS) was constructed. This uses a proactive approach – the learner’s schedule (i.e. an electronic organizer) to retrieve the location and time av...

This study analyzed the relationships among student achievement, learning strategies, learning patterns, learning styles, and student characteristics. The population of this study included 99 students taking two Web-based courses offered by a land grant university in the United States. Seventy-four students (75%) completed a learning style test, an on-line questionnaire, and received grades by ...

Learning styles are considered as an important factor in education, however, often students have to learn from material or in courses which do not support their learning styles. A challenge in the area of adaptivity is not only to provide learners with courses that fit the students’ learning styles but can also veer towards supporting students to learn in courses that does not match their learn...

Most approaches to adaptive hypermedia were based around acquiring and representing learner’s knowledge. While this is crucial for user modelling in general adaptive hypermedia, it is very limited for e-learning because it does not address the far more fundamental problem which is “learners learn in different ways, different learning styles and different thinking styles”. The design of adaptive...

This paper discusses the design of adaptive elearning system based on student’s learning styles. The system adaptivity is based on two learning style models, which are VAK and Felder. The VAK learning styles include visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, while the Felder learning styles include global and sequential. This system will combine these learning styles to alter its course presentation to...
