Abstract

The harmony between the learning styles that a course supports and the actual learning styles of learners helps to magnify the efficiency of the learning process. The aim of this research is to present a framework for analyzing existing course contents in learning management systems and providing the teacher with information regarding how well the course supports different learning styles of students based on the Felder and Silverman's learning style model. This allows the teachers to be aware of the suitability of their courses for students with different learning styles and to improve their courses to support more learners. This paper introduces the design and the implementation of the framework.
