An adaptive and personalized open source e-learning platform

This paper proposes the implementation of an adaptive and personalized e-Learning system which is based on open source software and technologies. Adaptation and personalization received very little coverage in e-learning platforms. An e-learning course should not be designed without matching students’ and teachers’ needs and objectives as closely as possible, and without adapting during course progression. The proposed open source e-learning system offers profiling and personalization services for the teacher and student while at the same time adapts the educational content and tools in the basis of the acquired user's profile.
