САЖЕТАК:

E-learning as a difficult structure contains distance learning, teaching resources in many forms and shapes, group and individual learning procedures, as well as interactive and tuition work. In order to increase the use and efficiency of e-learning systems, it is necessary to consider the individualities of students and their learning styles. Based on data collected in various ways, research methods Felder-Silverman Index of Learning Style Questionary (ILS), using the Moodle LMS, based on the subjective valuation of teachers, as well as based on data from the corporate information system, the affinities of students are determined. Then, based on this information, an adaptation is made, a process that adjusts the work of the LMS based on the learning styles of the students. The major goals that can be achieved by dynamic adaptation the e-learning system are to improve the appearance and effectiveness of the course, support in finding information about the subject, more efficient search and placement of search results in terms of student’s interest, and rise students faithfulness to the educational institution.
