A Module for Adaptive Course Configuration and Assessment in Moodle

Personalization and Adaptation are among the main challenges in the field of e-learning, where currently just few Learning Management Systems, mostly experimental ones, support such features. In this work we present an architecture that allows

moodle

to interact with the Lecomps system, an adaptive learning system developed earlier by our research group, that has been working in a stand-alone modality so far. In particular, the Lecomps responsibilities are circumscribed to the sole production of personalized learning objects sequences and to the management of the student model, leaving to

moodle

all the rest of the activities for course delivery. The

Lecomps

system supports the “dynamic” adaptation of learning objects sequences, basing on the student model, i.e., learner’s

Cognitive State

and

Learning Style

. Basically, this work integrates two main Lecomps tasks into

moodle

, to be directly managed by it: Authentication and Quizzes.

All in all, and so far, the advantage of the presented integration is in the real possibility to deliver and take personalized courses, residing and basically remaining into the

moodle

environment.
