Abstract
TERENCE is an FP7 ICT European project that aims at developing an adaptive learning system for supporting learners and educators: the TERENCE learners are 7-8 to 11 year old children with poor reading comprehension skills; the TERENCE educators are primary-school teachers, support teachers and parents. The analyses of the context of use and requirements of the TERENCE system are based on real data. Therefore also the design of the conceptual model of the TERENCE system is based on real data. This paper describes the domain and user model of the TERENCE system, and its evidence-based design process.
