            Abstract : 
We describe our approach to building an automatically adaptive course presentation on the Web. We aim to combine adaptability with the learner-driven course. To achieve this goal, we design and implement an agent called a confidence agent. This agent analyzes the learner´s behavior during a learner-driven stage and then not only adapts the next presentation but also updates the domain model accordingly.
