Theoretic Principles of the Adaptive Teaching Process

The article describes a new form of e-learning – adaptive e-learning. The theory of this form is based on a series of pedagogical-psychological rules which are aimed at the technical possibilities of today’s IT. The very basics of adaptive e-learning is comprised of the student’s learning style and a group of algorithms which will assign a suitable study material to the student according to his/her learning style. This whole process is automatized and secured by a virtual teacher – control manager. Its functions will be described in detail in this article.
