Normalization and personalization of learning situations: NPLS

Abstract

The personalization of learning is a major pedagogical challenge. There are several projects involving the production of personalizable learning platforms such as Reload-LDE and Alfanet. The objective of these projects is to produce new standardized and personalizable learning situations. However, on the Web, an important number of learning situations exist. These situations are rich in information, but do not consider all the individual characteristics of participants who take part in the learning experience, nor their technical environments. This paper presents a help system that can transform an existing learning situation to a more standardized and personalizable structure, depending on the specific learning context.
