Abstract
Whilst a number of systems have been developed based on cognitive styles, and a significant body of research has been carried about learning with multiple representations, little was known about the effectiveness of systems based on multiple intelligences (MI). To address this, a prototype was built based on Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and experiments were performed to study the effectiveness of the system on medical students' learning. The results showed that medical students accomplish deeper understanding of a topic when it is taught in a way that matches their cognitive styles. Moreover, the results indicated that providing students with a rich environment in which they can learn a topic via their chosen modality seems not to be as an effective teaching method as automatically adapting the material.
