Abstract

Improving teaching effectiveness, facilitating learning among learners, encouraging long life learning and maximizing motivation as well as reducing the dropout rates are among the main issues of Adaptive Learning Systems (ALS) that conquer the interest of educational actors and partners, especially in higher education. The present paper aims to give the foundation of a framework for an ALS that gives extensive attention at each stage of the design process to the end-user: learners. The system proposed is based on balanced combination of Agile Learning Design (Agile LD) and Learner-Centered Design.
