An adaptive framework for personalized e-learning

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive hypermedia framework is used in the design and development of an adaptive personalized e-learning system for Java programming. Learners with different learning goals, background and learning aptitudes are treated differently by including a model of knowledge and preferences in the system. A personalized e-learning framework is developed to provide a basic Java programming course that allows students to learn on his/her own pace and with adaptive features. The system evaluation shows that most students consider the personalized e-learning system useful for learning basic Java programming. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
