Using communication preference and mapping learning styles to teaching styles in the distance learning intelligent tutoring system WISDeM

Abstract

This paper discusses the generic requirements of a HumanComputer-Interface (HCI) Distance Learning Tool (DLT) providing the definitive requirements as developed from in-depth research, looks at Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), discusses the-way-we-learn, highlights why a learner's Communication Preference (CP) and Learning Styles (LS) need to be established and mapped to Teaching Styles before the learner starts using a DLT/ITS and how Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) Language Patterns are used to effect that CPLS mapping to Teaching Styles in WISDeM (Web-IntelligentDistance-education Model).
