A Proposed Architectural Model for an Automatic Adaptive E-Learning System Based on Users Learning Style

Abstract

It has been established through literature that, if an e-learning system could adapt to learning characteristics of learners, it will increase learning performance and content knowledge acquisition of learners. This paper is a basic research work for knowledge that lay down a foundation for application and implementation. We reviewed trends in adaptive e-learning system development, make an expository on learning-style models towards learners’ learning character and propose an Architectural model of Automatic Adaptive E-learning System (AAeLS) based on learning-style concept/models. The concept it to model an e-learning system that will automatically adapt to learning preference of users’, the system learn about users’ learning style while the user learn the material content of the system; thus the learning process in two ways, the system is learning when the user is learning. We recommend further work on implementation and testing of the model, in an applied research.
