TLDR
Some of the technological challenges which developers may encounter in creating authoring tools for personalised e-learning and some of the pedagogical challenges which authors may encounter when creating personalised E-learning activities to enhance the learning experience of their students are reviewed.Abstract:
The realisation of personalised e-learning to suit an individual learner's diverse learning needs is a concept which has been explored for decades, at great expense, but is still not achievable by non-technical authors. This research reviews the area of personalised e-learning and notes some of the technological challenges which developers may encounter in creating authoring tools for personalised e-learning and some of the pedagogical challenges which authors may encounter when creating personalised e-learning activities to enhance the learning experience of their students. At present educators who wish to create personalised e-learning activities require the assistance of technical experts who are knowledgeable in the area. Even with the help of an expert the creation of personalised e-learning activities still remains a complex process to authors who are new to the concept of tailoring e-learning to suit learner diversity. Before the successful utilisation of adaptive authoring tools can be realised, academic authors need to learn how to effectively use these tools. All learners come to education with a diverse set of characteristics; educators need to decide which learner characteristic(s) they wish to focus on addressing through the use of personalised e-learning activities. Further investigation, evaluation and analyses of authoring tools is required before personalised e-learning to support learner diversity can be achieved by many academics. Research members of the AMAS (2013) project team are currently involved in developing an authoring tool for adaptive activities for e-learning.read more

How Learners’ Interactions Sustain Engagement: A MOOC Case Study
TL;DR: Investigating learners’ social behaviors in MOOCs and the impact of engagement on course completion indicates that if a learner starts following someone, the probability of their finishing the course is increased and if learners also interact with those they follow, they are highly likely to complete, both important factors to add to the prediction of completion model.

Adaptive Hypermedia
TL;DR: Adaptive hypermedia as mentioned in this paper is a relatively new direction of research on the crossroads of hypermedia and user modeling, which builds a model of the goals, preferences and knowledge of each individual user, and use this model throughout the interaction with the user, in order to adapt to the needs of that user.
