Abstract

One key element to consider when developing e-learning systems is the adaptation of the system to the cognitive characteristics of the students. However, making this adaptation is not a simple process; it implies the study and conjunction of technical and pedagogical aspects. This article was written from the point of view of a designer who, without being an expert on the cognitive elements, tries to design e-learning systems that include an adaptation for them. This article attempts to provide the answers to some design questions as a starting point to further develop e-learning platforms.
