Abstracte-Learning has opened a multitude of possibilities for teaching and learning. As the market matures there is a demand for more effective and cost-efficient learning interventions that meet the learning needs of the diverse learner population. Currently, however, very few teaching attempts have been made to match the pedagogical styles underlying e-Learning interventions to students' diverse learning styles. Information and communication technologies can provide a variety of ways for adapting learning environments to students learning styles, although they are not often used to their full potential.In the Global Campus (GC) project at Middlesex University, we studied the differences in the learning styles of our distance and classroom students. We then examined the electronic learning resources and underlying pedagogical approach to establish how effectively they accommodate the diverse learning styles of the students. Finally, we proposed some measures to improve the elearning environment in a way that matches the students' learning styles more effectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
