Abstract

Current e-learning standards have been designed to provide reusability and interoperability. Besides these features, content personalisation is also necessary, although current standards do not fully support it. In this paper, we study the adaptation possibilities of the SCORM standard and present an extension to permit adaptivity according to user's characteristics. It comprises a syntax for adaptivity rules based on a set of adaptation parameters. The actual values of these adaptation parameters are deduced from the user profile, using inference rules. As a result, adaptive courses are obtained, created with the aim of being personalised before shown to the student.
