This study attempted to combine the benefits of multimedia learning, adaptive interfaces, and learning style theory by constructing a novel e-learning environment. The environment was designed to accommodate individual learning styles while students progressed through an introductory course on computer programming.
The accommodation of learning styles with different forms of instruction has been shown to improve learning gain and learner attitudes in several classroom-based studies. In a classroom environment, one instructor usually teaches many learners simultaneously and as such, individualised instruction can be tedious and time-consuming. In comparison, an e-learning environment can respond to every learner and his or her needs individually with a timely and precise adaptation of learning materials.
