Abstract
Herein, we present a mechanism used to adapt delivered information and oriented onto knowledge. It was deployed within the e-learning software platform and its content. This mechanism was developed and tested in a distributed learning environment, but its capabilities are not limited to this domain. As the e-learning is based on various pieces of software, it is possible to efficiently gather data and extract meaningful information about learner’s needs. Together with the delivered knowledge about course, we can use them in the reasoning mechanism, deployed to select proper pieces of content—called as the learning pills—according to the learner’s requirements. In the first part of this article, we analyse the organisation of learning process and basic pieces of knowledge delivered in it. Later, we introduce an intelligent auto-adaptive information delivery mechanism. Finally, we discuss its abilities, future research and summarise the paper.
