As a result of investigation on learning preferences and e-learning course adaptability among the students of full online courses offered by a consortium of higher education institutions, it has been found that there is a relationship between the two factors (the preference for asynchronous learning and that for the use of computer) in the learning preferences and the e-learning course adaptability. In addition, it has been found that the learning preferences of a student may change after taking an e-learning course. Furthermore, it has been found that a multiple regression analysis of the learning preferences of a student at the beginning of an e-learning course can somewhat predict the adaptability of the course at the end.
