Application for Measuring The Preferred Learning Style

T his project presents some new problems facing the study process in the distant learning system (DLS), and also tries answering the central question: "Why do we need personalized e-learning curricula?". Web application was developed in order to detect changes in learning styles and measure the level of satisfaction of the students with the presented e-curriculum for C++ programming language. This research would contribute to creating those type of learning objects which will be preferred for each student with different learning style. Also, the data collected from the students can help educators in choosing type of learning activities or in the design of those activities which can suit all types of learner.
