In this study, we carry out a survey of the preferred learning and perceptual styles of students at the University of Mauritius to find out about their learning preferences. This study forms part of a larger research project (HyperLearn) of the development and evaluation of a webbased adaptive hypermedia system for e-learning which keeps an evolving student model with a learning style component...

BACKGROUND Experienced trainers know that individual registrars react very differently to identical learning experiences generated during the year in practice. This divergence reflects differences in registrars' learning styles. Only one study of United Kingdom (UK) general practitioners' learning styles has been undertaken.

Learning management systems (LMS) are commonly used in e-learning but provide little, or in most cases, no adaptivity. However, courses which adapt to the individual needs of students make learning easier for them and lead to a positive effect in learning. In this paper, we introduce a concept for providing adaptivity based on learning styles in LMS. In order to show the effectiveness of our ap...
