• Adaptive Hypermedia Systems

• Learning Management Systems

Through certain adaptation methods and
techniques, these systems try to personalize the
learning process in the context of virtual
learning environments, therefore the contents,
training activities, services, and evaluation of
learning process would be delivered to the
student, adjusted to certain relevant individual
characteristics.
System designed to track the interaction with
educational contents and manage the interaction
mechanisms with the system, including navigation,
selection of educational activities and the
connection to contents distribution.
