Abstract

The advent of digital and educational technologies has led to the emergence of ever more varied online learning environments. Nevertheless, most traditional e-learning platforms remain based on a uniform pedagogy, unable to respond to the specificities of each learner. In this context, adaptive learning systems (AAS) represent a significant advance: they exploit learner models (cognitive profile, learning style, skill level) as well as adaptivity engines to offer a personalized journey and content. This article first presents the theoretical foundations of AAS (learner models, technical architectures, pedagogical approaches), then offers a critical review of the major works published over the last ten years. Finally, a comparative study of five current systems is conducted according to criteria such as the type of personalization, the granularity of content, evaluation methods, and interactivity. At the end of this analysis, we detail the technical and pedagogical challenges still to be overcome, and propose research perspectives, including artificial intelligence and massive data analysis, to strengthen the effectiveness of SAA.
