Abstract :
As recent development in Web-based learning system is not only a tide, but also a trend. To reduce the problem of disorientation and cognitive overload while learning with the WBLS, it is important to provide sufficient "learner control" mechanism to WBLS learners. One possible way is to allow learners to construct their own learning path by using different navigation tools in different sequence that based on their preference. This study focus on discovering the learning path by the sequence of navigation tools usage in different cognitive style learners. Results indicated that learners in different cognitive style prefer different learning pattern.
