Introduction:
The use of computer in the education is meant such a great contribution for both the
teachers and the students. E learning is a learning method where the electronic technologies
can be utilized for accessing the educational related documents, data and information outside
of the traditional classroom. There are so many terms for describing the learning process that
can be delivered via internet or online, ranging from the computerized learning to distance
education, internet learning, online education (Ellis & Goodyear, 2013). The incorporation of
the adoption of the techniques and the methods allows the system of the adaptive e learning,
where every students may receive guidance that are personalized during the process of
learning. For providing the personalization, this is required to store the data and information
that are about each of the students, which is called as the student model. The e learning is not
a kind of course where it is delivered through CD or DVD-ROM, over television or video
tape. This is an interactive process where the student and teacher can communicate through
online platforms (Ortigosa, Martín & Carro, 2014). The courses of the e learning may exist in
several forms by utilizing the range of technologies. The courses of the e learning can be
published through online platform via a Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS
allows the creators of the course to stream the content of the courses in to a location that is
easily accessible. The LMS, which is Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM
compliant), allows integration of the tools and contents that can be done easily as well as
extends the courseware availability for including the courses that are authored by the 3rd
parties.
