Abstract

In this paper, we review the definition of the learner choices from the Learner-driven Learning paradigm for e-learning systems. After this, we analyze how different categories of e-learning systems enable the user to make these choices, such as Serious Games. We present in detail how AdaptWeb platform makes available these choices to learner users. Additionally, we present a satisfaction survey performed after an online course on AdaptWeb platform. The survey questions were about making choices during learning and about the way AdaptWeb makes the choices available to learner-users. Summarizing the results, students enjoyed being able to make choices about their own learning and felt that this possibility was beneficial to their learning. Moreover, they liked the way AdaptWeb makes the choices available to students. Most of the students found the system easy to use, intuitive, and the student's choices were explicit and easy to take.
