Abstract
To successfully achieve the goal of providing global access to quality education, the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector has provided tremendous advances in virtual/online learning. One of such advances is the availability of digital learning resources. However, to successfully accommodate learner peculiarities and predispositions, traditional online learning is gradually being transformed from a one-size-fits-all paradigm towards personalised learning. This transformation requires that learning resources are treated not as static content, but dynamic entities, which are reusable, portable across different platforms, and ultimately adaptive to user needs. This article takes a review of how digital learning resources are modelled in adaptive hypermedia systems to achieve adaptive learning, and we highlight prospects of future work.
