Learning Styles and Behavioral Differences in Web-Based Learning Settings

Analyzing the behavior of learners in an educational system is the first step towards an implicit method for learning style diagnosis. To this end we performed an experimental study (reported in this paper) involving 75 students, whose interaction with WELSA educational system was monitored and analyzed. The investigation emphasized statistically significant relations between learning preferences and 30 of the behavioral patterns exhibited by the students. Discussions and interpretations of the obtained results are also provided in the paper.
