Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper we present the Local Network Learning of Informatics students taking into account their learning style via
the Moodle environment. Recently, learning and cognitive style have been taken into account in the design of a webbased
educational context. Such environments enhance learning, allowing learners to develop personal navigation
patterns and interaction behavior that reflects their own cognitive characteristics. The Moodle, learning environment
provides learners a variety of options addressed to all learning styles. An experimental study was performed to investigate
the impact of different styles on learners preferences during interaction. It was demonstrated that learners do have a
preference regarding their interaction, and those who started from activities that matched their style, exploiting their own
capabilities had better performance. According to these results, we suggest that learning style information can be used to
inform the design of learning environments that accommodate learners individual differences. |
