Abstract

This chapter describes a multiagent system for delivering adaptive e-learning. This chapter also provides a discussion of three issues related to personalization in e-learning: technology advancement and the shift in perception of the learning process, one-size-fits-all versus personalized services, and the adaptation process. Finally, the chapter provides an overview of most known implemented systems for adaptive e-learning, as well as a detailed description of the architecture and components of the proposed multiagent framework.
