Towards Personalised and Collaborative Learning Management Systems

This paper proposes a framework for the integration of personalisation and collaboration in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs). The paper describes 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.
