Students learn in various ways. Each student is distinct from each other in terms of preferences on how to acquire learning. It is
always a serious goal of the learning environment to be able to cater to these various needs. Typical classrooms offer only a very
limited reach in addressing student’s individual needs because a teacher is often biased to his or her own learning style. Over the
years, various researchers have attempted to outline possible solutions or alternatives that could help learners achieve their highest
learning potential in the learning environment. According to the VARK Modality, some learners prefer to read, some prefers to
listen, some likes to work on actual and some favors visual representation. The concept of learning styles has influenced various
fields especially in developing measures to deliver effective teaching strategies. Literature on how technology, nowadays, changes
the dynamics of learning is very rich. Hence, this work involved the development of a learning tool that aims to appeal to the
different learning styles of learners. Its features covered all learning styles as described by the VARK Modality. Primarily, this
study aims to find out how learners of different learning modality behave in the developed e-learning tool. It further aims to find
out if learning is achieved after using the system. Respondents were selected to use the tool. The study found interesting results
on the different behaviors of learners in the tutoring environment.
