I'm very interested in developing a learning adaptive material using learning styles.
Is it usefull in adult learning? Can you suggest me some interesting examples about it?.
I had experience in content customization by an entry test (in order to what you can access or is not necessary). I want to design a different kind of adaptive learning.
Can you help me ?
Try this paper to start: Evolving Web-based delivery: managing the transition from VLE's designed by academics to commercial VLE's, the post-graduate experience - Its now 13 years old but a historical perspective for use of learning styles to adaptive e-learning

My reseach area is very similar, using Kolb's theory and his Learning Style Inventory in secondary vocational education. See this papers:
http://www.uni-obuda.hu/journal/Toth_50.pdf
http://www.uni-obuda.hu/journal/Toth_35.pdf
The Learning Style Inventory is very useful for establishment of learning parameters of adults. In my opinion the learning style is an appropriate parameter of cognitive styles which lead to adaptive learning process.
Hi Daniella,
Our research is based also on Kolb's Learning Cycle. See some papers attached:
Article Telematic Simulation as Experiential Learning of English.

Hello Daniela,
I used some keywords in Google Scholar: "adaptive learning vs learning styles"
A Learning Style Perspective to Investigate the Necessity of Developing Adaptive Learning Systems by: Gwo-Jen Hwang*, Han-Yu Sung , Chun-Ming Hung and Iwen Huang
the first sentence in the abstract: "Learning styles are considered to be one of the factors that need to be taken into account in developing adaptive
learning systems. " and the LAST sentence:Consequently, it is concluded that students preferring one game over another does not necessarily mean that they will learn better with that version, revealing the importance and necessity of developing adaptive learning systems based on learning styles. '

Finally in your request for "examples' I am showing you a link to 10 Smart Apps With Built-In Adaptive Learning Mechanics

That being said my favorite free online adaptive learning flashcard system is: Anki
I recommend it to pharmacy/pharmacology students for "e-flash cards":

I am not sure if it adapts to learning styles, but you did ask for examples adaptive learning.
Hope this helps!

Hello Daniela,
Maybe my publication THE WAY OF LEARNING IN SUPERVISION AS A MODEL ( publiahed together with D. Haan) could be usefull for you. Is downloadable at RG under my profile.

Dear Daniela,
I would approach this topic with some caution and suggest reading the following publication in educational psychologist, available online:

Hello all on this thread. Gino has pointed out a great article for everyone to read, which covers many topics, including the evidence for learning styles. Unfortunately, there really is very little evidence for the notion of learning styles (which is why they are referred to as "urban legends" by Kirschner & van Merrienboer). Yes, learning styles make INTUITIVE sense, but the evidence for them is basically null.
For research that addresses the topic of "adaptive expertise" effectively, I recommend starting with Daniel Schwartz and Maria Mylopoulos and their colleagues.
I want to really thank you for your precious contributions. I understand that this issue is very complex and debated. As a training company that manage courses for working adults, our need is finding a way to increase motivation and reducing time spent in learning. But the last comment about if the effort is really worth is very interesting!
Hi Daniela. I think you should focus on the student's profile to determine the best teaching approach with respect to content and learning sequence to follow. This article may help you: 15.
