Learning style, teaching style, adaptive rules, adaptive e-learning

The conventional form of e-learning is gradually being substituted by different modern instruction forms, one of them being the adaptive instruction form. Development of the e-learning environment is a complex process, which is carried out in several phases. After having assessed a student?s learning style, it is essential to know the optimal teaching strategy which best suits the student?s learning style. It is also crucial to provide a variety of tailored study materials. This paper suggests a structure for such study materials and describes rules to compile appropriate study materials for students in line with their preferred way of learning. These rules are fundamental for the development of an expert system based on adaptive algorithms.
