Applying Learning Styles to SCORM Compliant Courses

This paper proposes a general framework to develop SCORM compliant courses that provide adaptation according to user learning style. The SCORM standard as well as some of the most popular learning style models and adaptive systems that implement them are briefly presented. The general framework is introduced and a case study with some evaluation outcomes is discussed.
