Glyphs for /i/ and /u/ in 56 Ancient and Unfamiliar writing systems. Green shows the “ee” vowel, Blue shows the “oo” vowel. Glyphs are ranked left-to-right then top-to-bottom by decreasing complexity, as measured using Spatial Frequency.
Glyphs drawn from a systematic review of Daniels, PT & Bright W (Eds). (1996). The World's Writing Systems. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

Learning styles: Individualizing computer‐based learning environments
No full textIn spite of its importance, learning style is a factor that has been largely ignored in the design of educational software. Two issues concerning a specific set of learning styles, described by Honey and Mumford (1986), are considered here. The first relates to measurement and validity. This is discussed in the context of a longitudinal study to test the predictive validity of the questionnaire items against various measures of academic performance, such as course choice and level of attainment in different subjects. The second issue looks at how the learning styles can be used in computer‐based learning environments. A re‐examination of the four learning styles (Activist, Pragmatist, Reflector and Theorist) suggests that they can usefully be characterized using two orthogonal dimensions. Using a limited number of pedagogical building blocks, this characterization has allowed the development of a teaching strategy suitable for each of the learning styles. Further work is discussed, which will use a multi‐strategy basic algebra tutor to assess the effect of matching teaching strategy to learning style
Authoring of learning styles in adaptive hypermedia : problems and solutions
No full textLearning styles, as well as the best ways of responding with corresponding instructional strategies, have been intensively studied in the classical educational (classroom) setting. There is much less research of application of learning styles in the new educational space, created by the Web. Moreover, authoring applications are scarce, and they do not provide explicit choices and creation of instructional strategies for specific learning styles. The main objective of the research described in this paper is to provide the authors with a tool which will allow them to incorporate different learning styles in their adaptive educational hypermedia applications. In this way, we are creating a semantically significant interface between classical learning styles and instructional strategies and the modern field of adaptive educational hypermedia
Application of learning styles for effective mobile learning
No full textMobile technologies are increasingly used for learning, both individually and collaboratively, and supported by wireless connectivity, mobile devices have succeeded in achieving anywhere, anytime learning. Students learn in different ways and usually have their own styles and preferences for learning, and our understanding of these issues is supported by research which has taken place on “learning styles”. Given that mobile learning is a fairly new area, there has not been much work done on how learning styles can be incorporated into different learning scenarios facilitated by mobile devices. In this paper, we identify the Dunn and Dunn Learning Style model as one which is appropriate for mobile environments, and explain these reasons
Catering for different learning styles
No full textThis paper describes a study to investigate the possibility of applying a quick and simple front‐end to multimedia presentations. The front‐end will determine the user's learning style and suggest a suitable navigation method The paper recognizes not only different learning styles which influence learners’ performance, but also the practical use of valid learning styles’ measurements

Incorporating learning styles in a computer-supported collaborative learning model
No full textCollaborative learning enables individual learners to combine their own expertise, experience and ability to accomplish a mutual learning goal. The grouping of learners, and learning from social interactions with peer-learners, are two basic characteristics of collaborative learning. For individual learners to benefit from collaborative learning, individual learners with different characteristics must be grouped together. In this paper, we propose a computer-supported collaborative learning model which incorporates learning styles for improving collaborative learning. The proposed model is novel since it can provide overall support for collaborative learning. In addition, the way we have incorporated learning styles in the model is a new approach to constituting heterogeneous groups containing learners with dissimilar learning styles and detect learning styles through monitoring collaborative interactions
Students, studies and styles: an analysis of the learning styles of leisure, tourism and hospitality students studying generic modules
No full textReport of a CELT project on enhancing learning and teaching through innovation and researchThe aim of the research was to investigate the different learning styles of leisure, tourism and hospitality (LTH) students who were studying generic modules. Anecdotal experience of the research team has shown that students on LTH courses have a range of learning styles that influence their overall performance
College Students’ Communication Apprehension and Adult Attachment Styles on Dating Apps
No full textThis study analyzed how adult attachment styles affect college students using dating apps. Participants (N= 316) provided responses that resulted in quantitative data regarding how their communication apprehension, dating app usage, and satisfaction when using dating apps play a role in their dating life. Findings revealed that attachment styles affect an individual's communication apprehension when they are on dating apps. Results also indicated that an individual's attachment style influences app usage as a dating app user. Interestingly, attachment styles affect how much satisfaction an individual gains from the relationships they establish on dating apps.Embargo status: Restricted to TTU community only.

The Relationships Among Leadership Styles, Entrepreneurial Orientation, and Business Performance
No full textThis study aims to contribute to the knowledge of leadership styles and entrepreneurial orientation at small and medium enterprises as well as their effects on business performance. This study examines how leadership style can affect the development and implementation of entrepreneurial orientation in small and medium enterprises in Taiwan. It is also designed to examine the effects of leadership styles and entrepreneurial orientation on business performance. Significant conclusions from this study are that different leadership styles may affect business performance; that transformational leadership is significantly more correlated to the business performance than is transactional leadership and passive-avoidant leadership; that entrepreneurial orientation is positively related to performance; and that transformational leadership with higher entrepreneurial orientation can contribute to higher business performance.leadership styles, entrepreneurial orientation, business performance
Conflict Management Styles in Croatian Enterprises – The Relationship between Individual Characteristics and Conflict Handling Styles
No full textThe objective of the paper, except determining the dominant conflict handling style in Croatian organizational setting, was to explore individual characteristics affecting the choice of conflict resolution style of Croatian employees. Therefore, the variables of gender, age, level of education achieved, field of work, hierarchical level, marital status and parenthood were included in the study. Compromising conflict handling style was found to be the most frequently used style among Croatian employees overall, as well as the dominant style in all 22 subgroups of respondents. Three out of seven individual characteristics surveyed were found to relate to the conflict handling style used by Croatian employees. Precisely, gender, marital status and parenthood were found to relate significantly with the respondents’ usage of accommodating, gender and parenthood were found to relate significantly with the respondents’ usage of compromising, and parenthood was found to relate significantly with the respondents’ usage of avoiding conflict handling style. Age, education, field of work and hierarchical level were not found to relate with Croatian employees’ usage of diverse conflict handling styles.managing conflict, conflict handling styles, contextual parameters and conflict handling styles, Croatia
