An approach for personalizing learning content in e-learning systems: A review

Individual learners have different requirements and characteristics, and as a result learning content should be able to be personalized and adaptable to the e-learner´ profile. Little research work undertaken to tackle this issue, and it has been limited to ad-hoc work on personalizing, and adapting learning content in e-Learning. This paper presents two methods for modeling user profile and for personalizing and adapting a given content to match that profile: inductive (without user intervention) and deductive (with user intervention). These methods will be used as a base to review and classify research work undertaken on personalizing content in the domain of knowledge management and e-learning systems. Based on these reviews, especially those undertaken in personalizing knowledge content in knowledge management systems, the paper proposes a comprehensive approach for personalizing learning content.
