An adaptable and personalised E-learning system based on free web resources

Abstract

A personalised and adaptive E-Learning system architecture is developed to provide a comprehensive learning environment for learners who cannot follow a conventional programme of study. The system extract information from freely available resources on the Web, and taking into consideration the learners’ background and requirements to design modules and a planner system to facilitate the learning process. The process is supported by the development of an ontology to optimise the information extraction process. An application in the computer science field is used to evaluate the proposed system based on the IEEE/ACM Computing curriculum.
