The authors are experimenting an innovative procedure to profile learners
using an e-learning platform to predict if they will successfully end their
training (or education activities) and to help tutors organize their tasks from
the very beginning. Predictive learner modelling is proposed as an instrument
for planning individual-oriented tutoring strategies to increase not only the
probability of completion but also the return on investments of the training
activities. In fact, by modelling learners\u2019 profiles it is possible to know in
advance who of them will successfully complete their courses, who will
leave the training anyway and who needs more help to complete their
courses, according to their profiles. Knowing where learners are more likely
to succeed will also help optimizing the assessment and training phases
