Adaptable, personalised e-learning incorporating learning styles

摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to discuss how learning styles and theories are currently usedrnwithin personalised adaptable e-learning adaptive systems. This paper then aims to describe therne-learning platform iLearn and how this platform is designed to incorporate learning styles as part ofrnthe personalisation offered by the system.rnDesign/methodology/approach - The paper discusses how learning styles and theories arerncurrently being used within the area of adaptive e-learning and describes current research within thisrnarea. This paper then gives an overview of the iLearn project and describes how iLearn is using thernVARK learning style to enhance the platform's personalisation and adaptability for the learner. Thisrnresearch also describes the system's design and how the learning style is incorporated into the systemrndesign and semantic framework within the learner's profile.rnFindings - The findings describe how the final implemented iLearn platform intends to address thernissues found with the limited personalisation within common learning management systems andrnintends to provide the learner with a personalised learning experience.rnOriginality/value - Adaptability and personalisation are large research areas, however, manyrnlimitations have been found during the current research. This research project, therefore adds value tornthis by proposing a system which will address the current personalisation limitations.
