Abstract

Adaptation and personalization of the information and instruction offered to the users in on-line e-learning environments are considered to be the turning point of recent research efforts. Collaborative learning may contribute to adaptive and personalized asynchronous e-learning. In this chapter authors intend to introduce the Virtual co Learner (VcL) that is a system designed on a basis of distributed architecture able to imitate the behavior of a learning companion who has suitable to the user’s cognitive and learning style and behavior. To this purpose an asynchronous adaptive collaborating e-learning system is proposed in the sense of reusing digitized material which deployed before by the users of computer supported collaborating learning systems. Matching real and simulated learners who have cognitive characteristics of the same type, one can find that learning procedure becomes more efficient and productive. Aiming to establish such VcL, one faces a number of questions. An important question is related to the user’s cognitive or learning characteristics diagnosis. Other questions are examined too.
