Abstract

In this paper we describe an architecture for intelligent learning environments that provides means to analyse the process rather than the product of learning, in order to support the development of individualised learning experiences in environments oriented by a more open and constructivist philosophy of learning. The architecture is described in terms of the conceptual structure and functionality required to support the representation and analysis of processes of learner-environment interaction and the adaptation of the environment according to the state of the learning process revealed by the analysis. An application in which a simple learning environment was implemented using the architecture exemplifies the approach.
