X-Learn: An XML-Based, Multi-agent System for Supporting “User-Device” Adaptive E-learning

  • Conference paper

Abstract

In this paper we presentX-Learn, an XML-based, multi-agent system for supporting “user-device” adaptive e-learning.X-Learn is characterized by the following features:(i) it is highly subjective, since it handles quite a rich and detailed user profile that plays a key role during the learning activities;(ii) it is dynamic and flexible, i.e., it is capable of reacting to variations of exigencies and objectives;(iii) it is device-adaptive, since it decides the learning objects to present to the user on the basis of the device she/he is currently exploiting;(iv) it is generic, i.e., it is capable of operating in a large variety of learning contexts;(v) it is XML based, since it exploits many facilities of XML technology for handling and exchanging information connected to e-learning activities. The paper reports also various experimental results as well as a comparison betweenX-Learn and other related e-learning management systems already presented in the literature.
