In this article we propose a cultural framework that, starting from the definition of a set of general features characterizing the 'experience', allows to correlate universalities of the adopted model of process - in our case the 'organic process' - with the characteristics of individuals, including the preferences about the mode of interaction. This framework allows to go beyond the concept of learning styles and to introduce a more comprehensive set of styles - the experience styles - starting from which, once the appropriate indicators have been identified, one can perform a more comprehensive and precise monitoring of the educational experience, and more in general of all experiences. %K learning styles %K experience styles %K DULP %K TEL %U http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/doc/IxDEA_10_7.pdf
