An adaptable and personalised e-learning system based on free web resources

A personalised and adaptive E-Learning system architecture is developed to provide a comprehensive learning environment for learners who cannot follow a conventional programme of study. The system extracts information from freely available resources on the Web, and taking into consideration the learners' background and requirements to design modules and a planner system to facilitate the learning process. The process is supported by the development of an ontology to optimise the in-formation extraction process. An application in the computer science field is used to evaluate the proposed system based on the IEEE/ACM Computing curriculum
