Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to present an Constructivism approach for an educational adaptive hypermedia tool. The learning platform has a constructivist approach, assessing the user knowledge and presenting contents and activities adapted to the characteristics and learning style of the student. The platform allows the students and teachers to autonomously create and consolidate knowledge, with permanent automatic feedback and support, through instructional methodologies and educational activities explored in a constructivist manner.
