• 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

• 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)

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
  learners preferences in terms of explanations,
  examples and graphics
• iWeaver (2002)
• Dunn Dunn model the application of a Bayesian
  network is planned to predict and recommend media
  representations to the learner.

Learning styles AH

• Tangow sensing-intuitive dimension

• INSPIRE Honey and Mumford model
• etc..

13
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

14
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 FD.

Felder-Silverman

• 44 questions at

  l
• Index of Learning Styles (1991)
• Richard M. 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.

Selected ModelHoney and Mumford model
Activist I like to have a go and see what happens
Pragmatists I like tried and tested techniques
that are relevant to my problems
Theorist I like to tidy up and reach some
conclusions
Reflector I like to gather information and mull
things over

• This is interesting conceptually (to give ideas),
  but for the project you need to use the new,
  extended syntax
