Kinshuk and Graf first establish the fact that students are often required to learn material that is not adaptive to their preferred learning style. The work then goes on to analyze how an interactive adaptive online/computer aided system could aide these students in allowing individual learning through designs that were more adaptive to learning style preference (i.e. had multiple ways of learning the same material) the work indicates that non-adaptive computer aided designs, i.e. that simply teach with one learning style are not as effective as those which offer students in mismatched courses several ways to learn material.

This work describes pre-teacher education performance on search engine information gathering. The work stresses that special instruction and live intervention, either by peers or a technology instruction aide is most effective to illicit positive results as search engine searching can be difficult and requires adept skills to achieve the results desired.
