%X Learning management systems (LMSs) are becoming increasingly popular at many educational institutions such as universities. However, they provide same content for all learners in a given course. Educational theory suggests that learners have different styles of learning. Ideally, the content must be arranged to match each learner¡¯s learning style. In this study, we propose a framework for adaptive LMSs that can tailor course content to the individual learner¡¯s learning style. We estimate the learning style of the student using two methods: a questionnaire and a rule-based method that utilizes the learner¡¯s activity within the LMS. The Felder¨CSilverman learning style model served as the basis for our system implementation. We explain the operational aspects of our framework and present the findings in applying the framework to a course conducted in Moodle LMS.
