The consequences of adapting the learning style and learning strategies differences have not been thoroughly pursued by adaptive hypermedia researchers. Many researchers recognise the importance of personalising hypermedia to meet students’ needs and the literature review suggests that students perform better in hypermedia based learning environments that are configured to support their learning needs. Two novel adaptive systems have been developed, based on the theory of learning styles and learning strategies. The results suggest that students, who use hypermedia-learning environments that supported their preferred learning style, performed significantly better. The development of the system emphasises the fact that adaptive educational systems can match some of the students’ learning preferences and may have implications on the design of web based educational courseware.
