The Conceptual Bases for Designing Module "Tools for Adaptive Learning and Learning Styles" Within Mooc Course "Ict Tools for E-Learning"

The study presents a short overview of the development of the adaptive learning concept, shows its contribution to effective learning and teaching and introduces trends of its further development which – in the form of adaptive e-learning – are related to the use of the ever-developing ICT. It also presents the current ICT system tools. Furthermore, it provides information about the research and design results of the “Ostrava School” of adaptive e-learning. The results, together with a number of other inputs, will provide the content framework for the specialized educational module “Tools for Adaptive Learning and Learning Styles” within the MOOC course “OCI Tools for E-leaning”, which is being developed as an output of the IRNET international project.
