Abstract

The design and implementation of an adaptive user model in a web-based learning environment is described. It includes techniques that provide personalization features to the educational topic and the exchanging information. In this way it customizes the educational process, served by any virtual university to the learning characteristics of the user. Its distinctive functionality is that encompasses combined adaptation between educational material and well-known communication facilities. In fact the user model consists of different layers that make the environment personalized in two axes. Adaptation is performed separately per activity (member of the profile's higher level) and knowledge of the different levels is shared through the common lower level and provides further personalization in a more global sense. Personalization obsolescence is included in the user model to prohibit outdated adaptation or intelligence to keep loading the user interface.
