Fuzzy approach to detect learning style using McCarthy model as a tool for e-learning system

This study suggests a soft computing approach to extract knowledge which can decide learner´s learning style in e-learning environment. The approach uses the rules of the learning style instrument(LSI) designed by Marlene Lefever which is based on the McCarthy Model. There are e-learning system which detect the learning style of a particular learner in a crisp manner. Due to the fuzzy nature of the learner a fuzzy approach is used to decide the learning style of the learner. The proposed method has used the McCarthy Model as a tool to detect the learning style of the student. This increase the efficiency of the learning because most of the systems are based on the notion that each student has only one learning style which is not true.
