We live in a society in which information and communications technologies (ICT) are becoming a driving force for its development. E-learning is obviously a part of this. The basic thought for creation of an adaptive e-learning environment is respecting and supporting differing learning styles of students, by which it is then possible to prepare a learning environment that is more effective, with enhanced user-friendliness and quality. This paper describes a draft adaptive education model and the results of the first part of the solution – definition of learning styles, pilot testing on students and an outline of further research in the area of teaching styles of teachers.
E-learning instruction adapted according to student study characteristics stands on three basic pillars: a definition and recognition of the student’s learning style, adaptable study supports and a correct assignment of an instructional style to a specific student and his/her learning style. This paper is a continuance of the paper [1] about student learning style analysis and adds the “second pillar”, the study support analysis and the design of their structure in a way which would enable a compilation of study supports optimized and tailored to all the student types with their different learning styles.
