Abstract
The Internet is rapidly becoming the main link to the university for distance learning students. Taking as given both the definition of a model of the education and that of the Internet specific didactic material, this article concentrates on the description of the objectives, the structure and the functionality of an interactive system capable of adapting to the information and communication needs of the different types of user. The application we have developed is the result of an effective combination of techniques used in intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive hypermedia programs and learning apprentice systems for software personalization. In the initial stages, this application is being used for the personalization of the presentation of the exercises’ part of the machine-learning courses at the Computer Science School of the UNED (The Spanish National University for Distance Education).
