Abstract
Massive Online Open Courses are a recent trend in distance learning promoted by several prestigious universities. They have drastically changed the way we learn as well as how we teach. The main aim of MOOCs is to provide new opportunities to a massive number of learners to attend free online courses from anywhere all over the world. MOOCs provide open learning. It has been found that the current model of open learning suffers from some limitations, and one of these limitations is the lack of personalization. A way to provide personalization into open learning is through learning style theory. The learning style theory is considered and, specifically, the Felder and Silverman model is selected to identify the learning styles and provide the required adaptation.
