A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of e-learning education courses or training programs. (Ellis, 2009)
Moodle has been selected as an LMS in this system.
Learning Management System (LMS)
17
Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is an online learning system which presents the learning contents to the students systematically, monitors the student’s performance and personalize instruction to suit the student’s learning style and knowledge level.
The role of the teacher will be changed to be a ‘facilitator’.

Knowledge Management is the strategy which enables people to obtain required knowledge within the appropriate time, and help exchange and learn the obtained knowledge in order to improve and enhance the organizational performance through various processes, such as sharing, applying and retaining knowledge.

4. Evaluate the system by the experts
Sample
• 6 experts in the fields of education and technology • Over 5 years of teaching experience • Having at least a Master’s degree
Data Collection
• Create system evaluation test • Evaluate the system in 5 aspects
Analysis • Statistical analysis (Mean and Standard Deviation)

How the teacher created the activity for student groups
50
The Students took the LS & MI tests before studying.
51
Each student got different activities according to the student groups.
52
Items X S.D. Level
Functional Requirement Test 4.21 0.49 Good
Functional Test 4.27 0.53 Good
Usability Test 4.07 0.49 Good
Security Test 4.27 0.72 Good
Documentation Test 4.33 0.51 Good
Total 4.23 0.46 Good
4) The Effectiveness of the System by 6 Experts

54
In conclusion, the adaptive activity system based on the concepts of students’ learning styles, multiple intelligences, intelligent tutoring system, Moodle, and knowledge management can be effectively used to teach educational courses for technical education students because it can intelligently choose appropriate learning activities that suit students’ learning styles and intelligences.

55
This system prioritizes the learning activities that match the students’ learning styles and intelligences because these activities can help students learn the best. However, this system still allows students to do other activities provided even though these activities do not correspond to their learning styles.
