Adaptive Systems for Web-based Education

This paper describes the design and development of an Adaptive Educational System (AES) that includes accommodations for cognitive styles in order to improve student interactions and learning outcomes. Although, cognitive styles are one of the several important factors to be considered from designers and instructors of hypermedia-based courseware, little research has been done regarding the adaptation of hypermedia system to students’ cognitive styles. Our research is an attempt to examine some of the critical variables, which may be important in the design of an adaptive hypermedia system based on student’s cognitive style.
