It has been proven that the student?s sensory type has a big influence on the results of his studying. That is why this paper focus on the adaptation to the sensory types. There are four sensory types; visual, verbal, auditory, and kinesthetic. In adaptive education the content of learning is adapted to the different characteristics of the individual student.

The experiment was conducted on three types of school (high school, university and grammar school) where two kinds of study materials were used: online and offline. Online education was done in adaptive system Barborka4 where students were given one of the four variants of study material. The students were given the variant that best suited their sensory type. Offline material was multimodal (all sensory types) pdf file that had all multimedia types together and students of all sensory types used it. All of the students studied one chapter from offline material and thenfrom online adaptive system. The analysis of the outcome of learning shows, that the difference in student learning from different schools but on all schools students were learning better from study material in form of offline multimodal pdf.
