Abstract: 
Educational adaptive hypermedia systems are online learning systems that aim to tailor the learning experience to the characteristics and needs of individual learners. These systems use a variety of techniques, including data analysis, machine learning, and dynamic adaptive user interface, to provide more effective and personalized learning for each learner.
The learner models in their systems are designed to help them better understand the learner and tailor their learning experience, to do this their models take into account the characteristics of the learner, such as their learning style, education level, prior knowledge and learning goals. Our work consists in making a comparative study of its models at the functional level and characteristics in the educational adaptive hypermedia systems in order to conclude the most effective learner model that can help to improve the academic results and to make online learning more accessible and effective for all learners, the results prove that the model based on learning styles allows a better adaptation in the educational adaptive hypermedia systems, its development will be devoted to the work of the next article.
