Analyzing Learners´ Interaction with an Educational Hypermedia System: A Focus on Learning Styles

Investigating the behavior of students in an educational system is the first step towards automating the process of learning style diagnosing. This paper reports the results of an experimental study involving 22 students, analyzing and discussing the traces of the students´ interactions with the system. While this analysis does not enable us to draw any definitive conclusions (a more thorough inferential statistical analysis being required for this purpose), it is nevertheless very effective in revealing interesting correlations between students´ learning style and their behavior in the system.
