An investigation of the effectiveness of learning sequence in E-Learning environment

摘要

People have unique ways of learning, which may greatly affect the learning process and, its outcome. In order to be effective, E-Learning systems should be capable of adapting the content of courses to the individual characteristics of student. This paper is part of research aimed to investigate learning styles theory to determine whether it is possible to use new online technologies in media education to improve students' learning. The research is designed to assess the effectiveness of matching the order of the delivery of material to the user's learning style as defined by Honey and Mumford. The research result showed that those students who followed the course material in a sequence that matched their learning styles performed significantly than those whose learning style did not match the sequence in which the material was delivered.
