ABSTRACT
|
| This paper introduces a novel multimedia learning environment designed to support holistic learning of web development. ANNs and the WSM model have been adopted to implement the framework of the VARK learning style model in order to dynamically provide personalized educational hints that assist learners to overcome difficulties and deepen their understanding, thus acquiring a higher level of knowledge in a more general and effective way. In our approach, hints are not an adjunct but a core feature of the learning process, dynamically tailored to each learner in their time of need. An ANN combined with a WSM collaborates to achieve optimal delivery of these hints, ensuring they are timely and context-aware according to the learning styles of individual students defined by the VARK model. Students receive the best possible guidance to make learning much more effective. A structured questionnaire-based evaluation followed by statistical hypothesis testing showed promising results for the efficacy of this multimedia learning environment.
