在本文中，我们提出了 X-Learn，一个基于 XML 的多代理系统，用于支持“用户设备”自适应电子学习，即考虑用户的个人资料、过去的行为、偏好和需求以及他们用于这些活动的设备的特征的电子学习活动。 X-Learn 具有以下特点：（i）它是高度主观的，因为它处理相当丰富和详细的用户配置文件，在学习活动中起着关键作用； (ii) 它是动态的和灵活的，即它能够对用户的紧急情况和目标的变化做出反应； (iii) 它是设备自适应的，因为它根据用户当前使用的设备来决定向用户呈现的学习对象； (iv) 它是通用的，即它能够在多种学习环境中运行； (v) 它是基于 XML 的，因为它利用 XML 技术的许多功能来处理和交换与电子学习活动相关的信息。该论文还报告了各种实验结果，以及 X-Learn 与文献中已有的其他相关电子学习管理系统之间的比较。
In this paper we present X-Learn, an XML-based, multi-agent system for supporting “user-device” adaptive e-learning, i.e. e-learning activities which take into account the profile, past behaviour, preferences and needs of users, as well as the characteristics of the devices they use for these activities. X-Learn is characterized by the following features: (i) it is highly subjective, since it handles quite a rich and detailed user profile that plays a key role during the learning activities; (ii) it is dynamic and flexible, i.e. it is capable of reacting to variations in user exigencies and objectives; (iii) it is device-adaptive, since it decides the learning objects to present to the user on the basis of the device he is currently using; (iv) it is generic, i.e. it is capable of operating in a large variety of learning contexts; (v) it is XML based, since it exploits many facilities of XML technology for handling and exchanging information related to e-learning activities. The paper also reports various experimental results, as well as a comparison between X-Learn and other related e-learning management systems already presented in the literature.
