Authoring and delivering adaptable learning objects in SINTEC

The paper presents the solutions adopted in SINTEC, a knowledge-based e-Learning framework, to support authoring and delivering adaptable learning content. One of the main features is personalized training using enterprise / institutional knowledge repositories developed with knowledge management tools based on Web services and XML technologies. SINTEC includes tools for content development and packaging of learning objects, which can be dynamically adapted to student profiles tracked in the delivery process. The framework is compliant with different learning models, such as self-study, collaborative learning, just in time learning, and learning on demand. The environment uses e-Learning standards, such as IMS and SCORM and is based on open Web application technologies.
