Shaping learning adaptive technologies for teachers: a proposal for an adaptive learning management system

This paper presents a work in progress on the design of an adaptive learning management system (LMS). LMSs have spread among teachers' communities in virtue of their friendly interface for organizing existing contents, and authoring new one, into Web-based e-learning courses. On the other side educational adaptive technologies have proven so far their effectiveness only in small lab experiments, thus they still wait for being released to the large community of educators. Our research effort is aimed at merging the most established adaptive techniques with the state of the art of LMSs.
