Abstract
This paper presents two specific educational applications that make use of the IMS-Learning Design specification as the basis for adaptive web-based learning. Specifically, learner profiling and personalization is achieved in adaptive courseware compliant with the specification and including a diagnostic learning style test and an educational recommender system. These components make use of the learning style and prior knowledge respectively, in order to adapt the presentation of the learning material and the feedback given to the learner.
