An Adaptable E-learning System for Pupils with Specific Learning Difficulties

The education of pupils with learning difficulties is very complicated due to great variety of their specific cognitive abilities and psychological factors. It requires the use of personalized learning facilities that can help achievement of their learning goals. For that reason we design an adaptable system for development of tools on the basis of suitable pedagogical methods and learning resources. The system provides facilities for adaptation of learning units to the learning profile of each pupil. The substantial elements of this adaptation technique are carried out by activities of the resource-developer. The paper presents an approach to a description of these activities supported by the adaptable system. The adaptation bases on reusable learning units that can be modified in correspondence with the learner’s profile, learning context or scenario.
