The system has a modular and extensible system architecture which aims at supporting different platforms and devices both for students and for teachers. To better adapt to its users the system uses so called contextual widgets -components which gather, process and store contextual data. To disseminate education – related events, specifically designed Distributed Events Protocol (DEP) is used. Various applicative modules for mobile connected devices can be implemented upon the described architecture. They are, together with the experience gained in the project, described towards the end of the chapter.

This process ensures personalization since recommendations are generated according to user’s characteristics. In the educational domain, in the most cases, recommendations refer to learning materials. Besides that, there is a potential for using recommendation techniques in order to personalize other aspects of e-learning context. This paper describes a recommendation model for providing personalization of a collaborative learning process. Well-known recommendation techniques are adapted for online learning environment that consists of an LMS and different Web 2.0 tools. The recommendations are used to support students before and during e-tivities and include four different types of items: optional e-tivities, collaborators, Web 2.0 tools and advice.

The main components of the proposed system are activity, student and group models, and recommender module. Activity model will be used for learning design representation and will include items that could be recommended to students: e-tivities, possible collaborators, tools, and advices. To provide recommendations tailored to the student's and group's characteristics, an important component of the system will include student and group models. The emphasis of the research is on the procedures for assessing the student's (group's) activity level based on the data collected from the third party services (Web 2.0 tools). Student's model will also represent knowledge level and preferences. The recommender module will include original pedagogical rules together with the algorithms that adapt known recommendations techniques to the educational context.

LMS have excellent performances implemented through advanced Web technologies but often poor or rarely used repository for storing institution's educational data. There still remains a problem of how to allow users of LMS to easily modify and integrate content form federated e-learning repositories into their courses. In this article we present analysis of present repository frameworks and projects. Also, we present possibilities of using FEDORA (Flexible Extensible Digital Repository Object Architecture) framework as a repository solution. A pilot application has been created for demonstration of interaction between LMS and repository.

A LMS can have excellent performance implemented through advanced Web technologies but it is often accompanied by a poor or rarely used repository of institution's educational content. It has still remained. Still remains a problem how to allow users of a LMS to easily modify and integrate the content from federated e-learning repositories into their courses. This article presents an analysis of present repository frameworks and projects. FEDORA (Flexible Extensible Digital Repository Object Architecture) framework is explained as an alternative repository solution. A pilot application has been developed to demonstrate the interaction between a LMS and its repository.
