Learning style Identifier: Improving the precision of learning style identification through computational intelligence algorithms

作者:

Highlights:

• Four separate computational intelligence algorithms used to identifying learning styles.

• Precision is improved over existing approaches based on a similarity and accuracy metric.

• May allow adaptive learning systems to better support students improving learning for students.

• Two new performance metrics introduced based on results for individual students.

• Proposed approaches are found to improve results based on these new metrics.
