Abstract
In this paper, we present an adaptation approach of e-learning content based on the navigation type indicator describing the learner’s behavior while browsing an e-learning course. This adaptation approach benefits from the found correlation between this indicator and learning styles, particularly Sequential/Global and Active/Reflective styles. Many studies use leaning styles for adaptation based on educational rules. Thus, we propose for each value of the navigation type indicator, to provide the learner with the appropriate adaptation to the learning style correlated with the indicator value.
