GOALS

• KOD contributed to the standardization efforts developing an ODL structure based on agent technology, that incorporates the hability to personalize data retrieval according to user profile and goals

CLASICAL ADAPTABLE SOLUTIONS:

-IMS-CP -IEEE-LOM (learning object metadata)

-LIP (Learning Information profile)

ADAPTABLE = Modifications based on an unmodified learner profile

ADAPTIVE = Changing automatically at usage time

KOD ADAPTIVE SOLUTION

-Extended IMS (mapping+ruling)

-NKM=Navigable knowledge map

-LMS modified (learning management system)

RESULTSPERSONALIZATION

REUTILIZATION

KOD Agents collaborate to provide

•a distributed Knowledge Publishing and Brokerage System

•they gather knowledge about a particular learner profile in order to

•adapt their delivery of targeted knowledge

within the boundaries defined by this profile.
