It is universally recognized that learning is more effective if the didactic content is tailored to the specific user’s needs. Since the advent of Adaptive Hypermedia, research in elearning has always investigated, from a theoretical point of view, the different dimensions involved, and from a technological point of view, the tools helping to integrate more adaptive contents.

This paper presents a solution that aims at using the SCORM standard in order to build an adaptive content package. The strength of this work is that it applies the adaptation model using some API functions which affect only the client side of the package, without affecting the standard and the interoperability with the LMS.

Abstract
It is universally recognized that learning is more effective if the didactic content is tailored to the specific user’s needs. Since the advent of Adaptive Hypermedia, research in elearning has always investigated, from a theoretical point of view, the different dimensions involved, and from a technological point of view, the tools helping to integrate more adaptive contents. The problem is that these are often ad hoc solutions which are not interoperable at all. This paper presents a solution that aims at using the SCORM standard in order to build an adaptive content package. The strength of this work is that it applies the adaptation model using some API functions which affect only the client side of the package, without affecting the standard and the interoperability with the LMS. The paper also presents some additional functionalities for the RELOAD authoring environment intended to support non-expert users in building adaptive content packages.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
