<p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-US">This article presents results of a research project in which we attempted to determine the relationship between efficient E-learning and teaching materials adapted based on students&rsquo; structure of intelligence.</span></p> <p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-US">The project was conducted on approximately 500 students, 23 classes, nine elementary schools, with ten teachers of history, informatics and several licensed psychologists. E-teaching material was prepared for the subject of History for eight-grade students of elementary school.</span></p> <p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-US">Students were tested for the structure of intelligence, and based on their most prominent component, they were divided into groups, using teaching materials adapted to their most prominent intelligence component. The results have shown that use of the adapted teaching materials achieved 6-12% better results than E-materials not adapted to students&rsquo; structure of intelligence.</span></p>
