Adaptive e-learning systems foundational issues of the ADAPT project

Abstract

This paper presents some foundational issues for the design and implementation of adaptive e-learning systems and in particular their application to the ADAPT project. As a matter of fact, the current Learning Management Systems (LMS’s) lack pedagogy and interactivity, giving rise to e-learning models that strongly reside on student’s own motivation. Some Artificial Intelligence (AI) models and techniques can help to overcome this problem and turn future LMS’s into (almost) human teachers.
