Influence of learning styles on improving efficiency of adaptive educational hypermedia systems
This paper presents the importance of application and integration of learning styles in adaptive educational hypermedia systems - AEHS. The main goal of the paper is a comparative analysis of the data obtained from the initial questionnaire based on Felder-Silverman learning style model and the data from the user model and domain model of our AEHS system TeleEDUCOS. Results of the analysis indicate the correspondence of these two approaches, which leads to conclusion that information about the users' learning styles should be taken into account when designing AEHS systems with the aim of improving efficiency in adapting and presenting of educational material to the users as well as the effectiveness of the learning process supported by AEHS system.
