The ‘LIBE’ Project Distance Learning Platform – Evaluating an Adaptive e-Learning Solution

This paper presents an initial outline of the technological solutions identified for personalized e-learning in order to deliver adapted learning materials. First of all, a briefly introduction about of the definition in literature of adaptive learning and personalized education is presented. Then, from a recognition of the state of the art of web-based learning and personalization research, the current approaches to the adaptive learning are described together with the criteria that allow to define a system as adaptive. Furthermore, the approaches selected will be briefly compared in order to find the more suitable solutions for low educational achievers needs. Additionally will be evaluated possibly usages of these approaches into LIBE LMS, estimating their feasibility from a technical point of view and eventually provide a starting point for their inclusion in LIBE LMS.
