Abstract

Nowadays it is essential to obtain personalization in e-learning, to provide help to students' activities in this environment. There are two main research directions that aim at providing personalization in e-learning: adaptive educational systems and intelligent tutors (agents). This paper presents the adaptability approach designed for the AdaptWeb system and the eTeacher agent, describing design and implementation issues, and discussing results obtained from students' evaluation in these real applications. Then, this paper presents a comparison about them.
