The results from this study are surprising. The literature as well as informal conversations with educators supported the supposition that multiple intelligences would influence
how a student perceived using and ultimately adopt an elearning technology. Certainly most
educators have come to agree, and research confirms, that the best way to engage a student
in the learning process is to provide activities and lessons that honor student uniquenesses
and personal learning preferences which are based on a student’s multiple intelligences and
learning styles [162]. So it should follow that an elearning environment that could only
adequately match a few of these intelligences (e.g. intrapersonal, logic/mathematical, and
linguistic), and is not yet mature enough to completely accommodate others (e.g. kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, spatial, naturalist) must necessarily appeal to some students
but be less so for others. However, such a position cannot be supported here limitations of
the text based course design by obtaining visual resources.
