Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to set up a learning environment which is based on the multiple intelligences (MI) theory applied to the Internet. We try to find out the best suitable design style Web title for the students. Students of this experiment are divided into two groups of learning environments, i.e. the multiple intelligences learning Web title and general learning Web title. The student´s cognitive style and multiple intelligences are identified by the questionnaires. The ACS test and SPSS are needed as research tools, to analyze the data obtained respectively. After analyzed the all factors, we find out the MI Web-based learning has the very positive effect on overall students especially on: field-independent students, and who just only have the naturalist or not only have one more intelligences simultaneously shown better achievements in the MI learning environment.
