AWELS: Adaptive Web-Based Education and Learning Styles

Can learning styles (LS) be applied in current webbased systems? What are the main issues when applying LS in web-based systems? Can LS be authored in current web-based systems? What are the main issues when authoring LS in web-based systems? Can LS applications improve the efficiency of learning in web-based systems? Can LS applications be tested in web-based systems? These are important questions that are starting to be asked both in adaptive hypermedia (AH), as well as in web-based learning communities. This paper’s aim is to raise the awareness of the timeliness of asking these questions now. Moreover, the paper sketches some preliminary answers, intended for starting a cross-disciplinary debate on these issues.
