Learning styles & AH: 

Learning styles andamp; AH ARTHUR, iWeaver, MANIC, CS388: sensory preferences AEC-ES: field-dependent (FD) independent (FI) LSAS, CS388: global-sequential (Felder-Silverman) Tangow: sensing-intuitive dimension (Felder-Silverman) INSPIRE: Honey and Mumford model etc..

Sensory preferences treatment: 

Sensory preferences treatment Adaptive presentations can switch between the following styles: textual (hyper-text) visual (image, diagrams, graphs, video, slideshows) auditory (sounds, streaming audio) kinaesthetic views (animations, simulations, puzzles)

Dunn & Dunn model: 

Dunn andamp; Dunn model

Sensory preferences in AH: 

Sensory preferences in AH CS388 (1996) Felder-Silverman learning styles model: global-sequential, visual-verbal, sensing-intuitive, inductive-deductive styles ARTHUR (1999) visual-interactive, auditory-lecture and text styles MANIC (2000) uses a Naïve Bayes Classifier to reason about the learner’s preferences in terms of explanations, examples and graphics iWeaver (2002) Dunn andamp; Dunn model; the application of a Bayesian network is planned to predict and recommend media representations to the learner.

FD vs. FI treatment: 

FD vs. FI treatment FD learners prefer structures, social content, material relevant to own experience. AH systems respond by providing navigational support tools (CM, path indicator, advanced organizer): adaptive navigation support

FD vs. FI treatment: 

FD vs. FI treatment FI learners perceive analytically, make concept distinctions, prefer impersonal orientation. AH systems respond with learner control : arbitrary succession of course material. Sometimes: explicit switching between FI andamp; FD.

Felder, a chemical engineering professor at North Carolina State University, Barbara A. Soloman, then the coordinator of advising for the N.C. State First-Year College. The four learning style dimensions of the instrument were adapted from a model developed in 1987 by Dr. Felder and Linda K. Silverman, an educational psychologist then at the University of Denver.
