An essential feature of the ILCE approach is that developers can consider student differences when designing and producing learning materials. In this article we will explore the problem of adapting the delivery of learning materials to student characteristics in relation to a course based on 'cases' in the law domain. Two studies are presented. From the results can be concluded that almost all students from the Open universiteit prefer a theory-based study mode, because they have a relatively large amount of experience with this study mode and because they find it a successful study mode. In contrast with the exploratory study students clearly indicate a more diverse preference for certain study modes.
Students also differ in their preference for the delivery mode.
Again this might again be due to the greater experience students have with this approach.
