Abstract Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of skills, knowledge, values, beliefs, and habits. With the development of technology, educators and learners are moving towards E-Learning applications. These E-Learning applications are open source applications that have their own advantages and disadvantages. By modifying these applications as per their needs, educational institutions can adopt them such that the students are guided constantly even outside their classrooms. The paper presents the approach to identify the learning styles for adaptation as pe Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model (FSLSM). An e-learning application developed using Moodle framework with the functionality to capture the usage data of learners. The usage data is used to cluster the learners as per learning categories of FSLSM. The customization is provided on the portal by generating the adaptive user interface for each learner based on learning style of FSLSM. The adaptation of system is validated using statistical analysis and the impact of adaptation on the learning has been identified.
