The aim of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of learning styles in learning objects for programming students of public universities. Students who haven’t had the opportunity of a proper school education giving them the ability of self-learning, and consequently many of them feel incapable of not only learning by themselves, nor able to develop an individual conception of an issue. This study is based on the idea that each and every person has different ways of facing issues, and this is picked up in learning styles. A topic is selected and a learning object is designed in 4 different ways. From then on two strategies, using Learning Objects (from here onwards LO) were applied to the students: i) Applying just one learning style and ii) Adapting LOs to different learning styles. The results of this study bring us to realize that considering learning styles is beneficiary, given that it allows the student to learn in a much more comfortable way, without feeling the need to adapt to a professor’s teaching style, and hence letting the student learn by themself.
