To support adaptivity in agent-based learning systems - the use of learning objects and learning style

Few intelligent learning systems exist which are dynamic and able to provide personalized learning materials to satisfy individual students' requirements. We have developed an agent-based learning system that incorporates learning objects to facilitate personalization, and is based on a learning style theory as the pedagogic foundation for adaptivity. In this paper, we present our novel approach to the incorporation of learning style theory and learning objects, and evaluation indicates that the approach is able to provide personalized learning materials and improve the adaptivity in learning systems.
