A framework to support social-collaborative personalized e-learning

We propose a comprehensive framework to support the personalization and adaptivity of courses in e-learning environments where the traditional activity of individual study is augmented by social-collaborative and group based educational activities. The framework aims to get its pedagogical significance from the Vygotskij Theory; it points out a minimal set of requirements to meet, in order to allow its implementations based on modules possibly constituted by independent e-learning software systems, all collaborating under a common interface. © 2013 Springer-Verlag
