Abstract

Virtual learning is offered to students as part of didactic programs where tasks performed through ICT may not consider the variety of existing learning profiles or styles and turn out to be not sufficient for some of the learners. The study presents the use and profile of the different learning styles applied to foreign language teaching and their interaction with didactic materials in regard to the use of ICT resources and their different applications.
