Abstract :
We live essentially in a technological world in which technology facilitates and promotes the development of institutions and people that work or study. Thus, it is argued that technology meets people´s needs, taking into account their objectives, interests and learning styles. In this article, with a perspective to improve teaching and learning, beyond the conceptualization of learning styles and learning management systems, is presented the integration of a learning styles identification module, based on CHAEA questionnaire, into the Sakai collaborative learning environment adopted in the authors´ institution.
