The relationship between the learning styles of the students and their e-learning course adaptability

Abstract

This study investigated learning styles of students who had or had not taken e-learning courses, developed a learning style questionnaire for e-learning courses, and examined the relationship between the learning style and the adaptability to e-learning courses. As the result, the student's adaptability of e-learning courses can be suggested before his/her taking an e-learning course. It was found that using the multiple regression model obtained in the study, about 40% of the adaptability to e-learning courses can be explained by the learning style questionnaire developed in the study. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
