Description

We are living in an essentially technological world, in which technology facilitates and promotes the development of institutions and the people who work or study in these institutions. Thus, it is claimed that technology should increasingly meet people’s needs according to their goals, interests and learning styles. Aiming to improve the teaching and learning process, and based on a perspective of adaptation of the learning environment to the learner’s needs, we present, in this article, the integration of learning styles in learning management systems by integrating the Honey-Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire (CHAEA) in Sakai collaborative learning environment, which was adopted in a higher education institution.
