  Individual differences in learners learning styles can have a significant
effect on their acceptance of collaboration technologies to facilitate the
sharing of learning information in technology-based collaborative learning.
There is, however, a lack of research in exploring the impact of learning
styles on the acceptance of open learner models for information sharing in this
area. This study investigates the impact of learners learning styles on their
acceptance of open learner models for information sharing. A total of 240
undergraduate students in a university in Malaysia have participated in the
online survey. A chi-square test is performed to explore the relationship
between learning styles and the acceptance of open learner models for
information sharing in a higher education setting. The result reveals that
learning styles have no significant impact on learners acceptance of open
learner models for information sharing. The implications of this study can
assist education instructors to apply appropriate instructional strategies in
adopting open learner models for improving the performance of
technology-mediated learning.
