Supporting the development of effective e-learning resources: a student-centred approach

This paper reports preliminary findings from an assessment of student learning styles and the potential impact on course support materials delivered using the WebCT e-learning application. The aim of the assessment was to identify whether the course materials supported the learning styles presented by the course group. Employing an established learning style survey tool, this investigation is reported and main findings discussed. Future research will consider the development of support materials and will further investigate learning style and the use of WebCT in alternative courses and disciplines.
