Abstract

Internet combines information technology into our daily life in which cloud technology is the popular application and the education and learning also be enhanced recently. Learning has been enriched by digital functions that abstract concepts be concreted to improve the effectiveness of learners. Many researches have carried out the study of electric learning, and has confirmed the association between e-learning and cognitive style, but less researches focus on the cloud technology introduces into e-learning. The purpose of this study is to explore the learning effect of students’ cognitive styles in using cloud technology. We infer the important factors in cloud technology applied to learning that provide to design adaptive learning to achieve better learning outcomes.
