Customized learning environment: A new approach

Abstract

The education sector is facing several challenges due to changes concerning the needs of students who arrive at HEIs, as well as due to labour market requirements. There are already solutions that try to meet the new requirements. However, the evolution of ICT requires a rapid and demanding adaptation. In this context it is assumed that education systems must address the diversity of students’ backgrounds, taking into account their needs in order to provide access to learning objects, as well as the validation of knowledge of each student. In this paper, we propose a model where all the learning elements are present and where the student is the focus and the one who decides what should be included in this learning environment in order to create a Customised x-Learning Environment.
