Abstract

The widespread use of the Web in distance learning could help to satisfy the need for information and to mitigate the isolation that characterizes the student in this domain. It can be observed that the different nature of this kind of students and the dispersions of the relevant information make the effective use of the available resources more difficult. In order to improve this situation, we develop an interactive system to support education on the Web which is able to adapt to the information and communication needs of each student.
