Abstract :
Personalization is a hot research topic in Web-based systems. For Web-based electronic learning systems it is an indispensable feature, if we want to provide systems that meet the needs of the learners. In this article, we show how specifications of e-learning systems can be personalized to different learner profiles. For this we describe course outline(s) by directed graphs called outline graphs. Then we discuss several techniques for tailoring the graph according to the needs defined by a learner profile.
