Learning Style recognition: A three Layers Fuzzy Cognitive Map Schema

In adaptive educational hypermedia systems, among other parameters, the userpsilas learning style plays a crucial role in effective on-line asynchronous learning. Cognitive psychology provides tools, such as questionnaires, that can monitor userpsilas learning style. In this paper we introduce an adjustable tool for learning style recognition. It is built upon a well known and generally accepted learning style inventory and applies a three layer fuzzy cognitive map schema, which allows experts of cognitive psychology or experienced educators to tune up the systempsilas parameters to adjust the accuracy of the learning style recognition.
