The participants were44 EFL adult learners studying English for academic purposes. Data were collected through a softwaretracking tool, a learning styles survey and interviews. Results did not indicate a significant relationship,suggesting that learners with different learning styles had similar patterns in using hypermedia annotations,which in turn suggests that hypermedia environments can accommodate for various learning styles.
