Summary/Abstract: Different learners have different styles of learning. Some of them give the priority to listening and speaking, others to text analysis or visual tools. Nevertheless, the learning style of many learners is mixed. Tutors and course creators working with distance learners should be aware of this fact. Appropriate learning materials, personalised assignments and personal comments would help the learner in achieving the aims and objectives of the course. Referring to Honey and Mumford (1992), the authors of the article analyse the determination and visualisation of learning styles, by tracking learners’ activities in virtual learning environments and using data mining methods.
