Abstract :
This paper describes our approach to build a dynamic adaptive course in learning management systems based on students´ learning styles. Our method aims to adapt the student´s learning style by taking the advantage of the previous students taught the same course. To achieve this goal, we present an approach for adaptivity by taking the advantage of information that can be taken from previous students´ data record to find similarity between the students. Based on this similarity we can find the next suitable learning style for the current students.
