This paper relates individual learning differences to possible ways of developing adaptive systems
for educational uses. We first conducted a literature review to discuss how past researchers applied
information processing theory in their studies to enhance students’ reading comprehension abilities.
Then, we critiqued the features of different cognitive tools which are usually used to measure students’
different learning styles as well as serve as instructors’ teaching references. By introducing three
possible approaches to develop adaptive educational systems and some concrete examples, we expect
that the teachers can consider using technologies to provide diverse teaching activities in their
classrooms. The students can then be encouraged to engage in a higher-order learning process. Finally,
the paper emphasizes the importance of providing adaptive educational systems to the students at
schools.
