Abstract :
This paper presents a framework for design of online courses and collaborative learning based on Web technologies. It provides the following features: construction of structured learning materials in a distributed environment; personalization of course contents in the run-time that adapts to the progress of individual students; it can supply relevant Web resources to the students by analyzing the learning history dynamically; students in a group could exchange their learning experiences and discover relevant knowledge via the communication channels provided by the framework. The proposed techniques could be deployed to a variety of online computer-assisted modules to improve the effectiveness of Web-based e-learning
