Abstract
This paper presents an ontology-based approach for the dynamic generation of learning knowledge objects (LKO). These objects have the particularity of implementing AIED techniques and they exhibit characteristics hitherto reserved for intelligent tutoring systems (ITS): they are knowledge-based, adapted to a learner model and they are composed dynamically according to a learning need and a particular instructional theory. Additionally, the paper tackles the issue of using eLearning resources by ITS and shows how this could be realized. Finally, the paper also demonstrates how LKOs are deployed and evaluates briefly the results of the proposed approach.
