Fuzzy User Profiling in e-Learning Contexts

The research activity described in this paper concerns the personalisation process in e-learning contexts. Particular emphasis is laid on the mechanisms of user profiling and association between user profiles and pedagogical resources. A particular profiling model is proposed where both the pedagogical resources and the user profiles are described in terms of a fuzzy valued metadata specification. The adoption of specific fuzzy operators enables the proposed model to perform associations with a high degree of flexibility, yielding a customised resource allocation for each user.
