Abstract

The current and popular model of e-learning is not so different from traditional lecture modes of instruction, with perhaps even more drawbacks than we care to acknowledge. Today´s learning management systems (LMSs) have mainly to do with teaching and little to do with learning. Adaptive learning is in fact rooted in principles that have been around for a very long time, although they have gone by or been implicit in many other labels: individualized instruction, self-paced instruction, personalized instruction, and the like. Of course, concepts inherent in the architecture of earlier adaptive learning, computer-assisted instruction (CAI) systems were themselves derivative of even earlier technologies.
