Educational Web Adventures LLP, representing a collaboration of two educational Web developers and two museum researchers, will conduct research to explore the role of learning style in online informal learning experiences. The study will develop ways of measuring learning style among children ages 10 to 12 and test hypotheses about learning style, activity preferences, engagement and satisfaction. The researchers hypothesize that, when the shape of the learning experience fits an individual's preferred learning style, the experience will be more engaging and more satisfying. The study will examine the following questions through laboratory and online testing:How can children's learning styles be identified?How do children's learning styles affect their preferences for online activities?Do activities that match the individual's preferred learning style result in greater engagement and satisfaction?How can the research findings be applied to the development and design of more successful online learning activities?

由两名教育网站开发人员和两名博物馆研究人员合作的教育网络探险有限责任公司将进行研究，探索学习方式在在线非正式学习体验中的作用。这项研究将开发测量10至12岁儿童学习风格的方法，并测试有关学习风格、活动偏好、参与度和满意度的假设。研究人员假设，当学习体验的形状符合个人喜欢的学习方式时，体验会更吸引人，更令人满意。这项研究将通过实验室和在线测试来研究以下问题：如何识别儿童的学习风格？儿童的学习风格如何影响他们对在线活动的偏好？与个人首选的学习风格匹配的活动是否会带来更大的参与度和满足感？如何将研究结果应用于开发和设计更成功的在线学习活动？
