A conceptual model for developing a personalized adaptive elearning system in a business environment

In this paper we present and recommend a conceptual model for designing and developing an adaptive elearning system that main application is the identification of educational needs of employees from formal and semi-structured data and the choice of the appropriate personalized learning strategy. The human resource department has the responsibility for the all process. We use available international standards and explicit knowledge to develop a conceptual model of knowledge that is spread within the company. The model has the form of ontology and gives the opportunity for content based information research and retrieval of educational needs for a given educational program from the human resource department. The conceptual model exploits complex issues such knowledge acquisition, usage and preservation.
