A Framework for Effective and Adaptive E-learning

Adaptive educational systems adjust the system, by certain user characteristics and preferences, to get the maximum of the user in the learning process. There are existing adaptive systems, used in higher education, which offer courses and guide students by using a well-defined structural approach. However, very few of these systems are paying attention to the students’ individual preparations for the exam. In this paper, we present a framework for effective and adaptive e-learning. A system implementing this framework assumes that the student had previously taken the lectures for a given course, with the main goal to prepare the student for successfully passing the course exam. We discuss the main parts of the framework, and outline plans for successful integration into an existing system for knowledge evaluation.
