Abstract
The modern teaching methods should allow effective learning in a short time. Development and detailed analysis of an e-learning system as well as a research on influence of the applied didactic methods on effectiveness of the learning process is required. Therefore, this paper is devoted to presentation of the results of an experiment conducted using prepared prototype of an e-learning system with a personalized courseware. Authors run researches on an influence of a personalization on the learning process effectiveness. Significantly higher results were obtained by learners whose user profiles were taken into consideration during the determination of the learning scenario. This conclusion is true when the learning material is presented for the first time, when users are underaged, male or have had elementary education.
This research was financially supported by Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education under the grant N N519 407437.
