Towards personalised and collaborative learning management systems

Abstract

We propose a framework for the integration of personalisation and collaboration in virtual learning environments (VLEs). We describe two models of personalisation, i.e. assessment-based personalised learning via suggestions and personalised space. Collaboration is achieved via learning service, which provide specific collaboration services for learners. Although the proposed system integrates personalisation and collaboration in the learning environment, users have the option of switching off the personalisation so the learning space can act as a collaborative environment.
