Abstract
Learning Style Index is a method to classify the learning preferences for learners. Learning preferences can then help learners to find their better way in the learning process. It also can help teachers to adopt suitable learning materials for efficient learning. This paper is concerned on the study, implementation, and application of a web-based learning style index. We also show a case study on the integration of learning style index into an e-learning system.
