Abstract
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are increasingly used for distance learning around the world. However, most systems present the learning content regardless of the learner’s cultural background. This paper presents a resource personalization technique for cultural adaptation within ITSs. The approach is based on a collaborative filtering technique using an implicit cultural profile, which is automatically updated using the learner’s interactions with the system.
