Learning Style Verification with use of Questionnaire and Page Flip History

Abstract

The authors verified learners’ learning styles with use of learning style questionnaires and page flip history of materials. First, page-flip detection function of material slides on learners’ PCs was developed. This function also transfers the result to a dedicated LRS (Learning Record Store) server automatically. From this fine-grained learning activity log, student’s learning styles were classified. Second, the authors estimated learners’ learning styles with use of widely used learning style questionnaires. The authors verified these two types of learning styles for 100 subjects (research participant) in real 4 units of 2 classes. As a result, a student who “rushes up ladder” during a certain time period was significantly relevant to “Global” learning style tendency rather than “Sequential” one.
