Multi-agent Framework Support for Adaptive e-Learning

In the past years, agent technology is considered one of the most innovative technologies for the development of software systems. Meanwhile, following the rapid development of Internet, particularly web page interaction technology, web-based learning has become increasingly popular. However, there not yet has a perfect framework in e-learning system's software designing. This paper proposes a multi-agent framework to realize an adaptive e-learning system. Experimental results indicate that applying the proposed framework for personalized e-learning system is feasible and robust.
