Abstract

One of the key factors in the future e-learning is possibility of adapting educational content to student's learning styles. This allows e-learning systems to enhance their efficiency and to simulate behaviour of individual learning. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of adaptive courseware delivery in ADOPTA (ADaptive technOlogy-enhanced Platform for eduTAinment). The experiment was carried out with two groups of students and aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of educational materials adapted to the individual student's learning style and knowledge. Results from the experiments were analyzed and it was concluded that students taught by adapted learning materials have achieved higher academic results and are more satisfied by such a type of e-learning courses.
