Abstract
The ultimate goal of developing Protus 2.1 system has been increasing the learning opportunities, challenges and efficiency. Two important ways of increasing the quality of Protus 2.1 service are to make it intelligent and adaptive. Different techniques need to be implemented to adapt content delivery to individual learners according to their learning characteristics, preferences, styles, and goals. Protus 2.1 provides two general categories of personalization in system based on adaptive hypermedia and recommender systems: content adaptation and adaptation of user interface. Several approaches are used to personalize the material presented to the learner. Programming course in Protus 2.1 offers three types of personalization to each individual learner: (1) use of recommender systems, (2) learning styles personalization and (3) personalization based on resource sequencing. This chapter presents Protus 2.1 functionalities as well as personalization options from the end-user perspective.
