Abstract
Many researchers said that determining learning styles enhance the learning development and makes learning easier for students. Learning management systems (LMS) are very successful in e-learning even though it does not include learning styles. As learning styles must be taken into consideration in LMS, students´ behavior in online courses needs to be analyzed and observed. In the beginning we show that students with different learning styles act differently and process information in different ways. Secondly, a new technique for determining learning styles is suggested. Finally, we propose a framework for course personalization based on Felder-Silver man for each learning styles and how course presentation will differ according to the learning style.
