Abstract

Learning styles (LS) refer to the ways and forms that the student prefers to learn in the teaching and learning process. Each student has their own way of receiving and processing information, and bearing in mind the learning style is important to better understand their individual preferences and to understand why certain teaching methods and techniques work better for some students, while for others they do not. We believe that knowledge of these styles enables the possibility of making propositions for teaching, thus reorganizing teaching methods and techniques in order to allow learning that is adapted to the individual needs of the student. This would be possible through the creation of online educational resources adapted to the style of the student. In this context, this article presents the structure of a learning object interface adaptation based on the learning style. This should enable the creation of the adapted learning object according to the student's learning style, contributing to the increase of student’s motivation in the use of a learning object as an educational resource.
