The Evaluation of a Moodle Based Adaptive e-Learning System

 Abstract—This paper discusses the evaluation of an adaptive e-learning system based on student's learning styles that has been developed using LMS Moodle. Two popular models of learning styles used are VAK and Felder. The VAK learning styles include visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, whereas the Felder learning styles include global and sequential. The evaluation focuses on the alpha and beta testing. The result shows that the adaptive e-learning system and all adaptation functionalities have performed correctly.
