Abstract

The work aims at giving new perspectives in the use of ICT instruments and strategies in traditional teaching and especially in integrating web technologies in teaching-learning processes. It starts with a review of the instruments strongly based on ICT use which have been developed for the analysis of the difficulties that students meet while attending courses; the factors influencing students’ performances are then discussed and alternative assessment instruments strongly based on ICT use are reported. At last, recent hypotheses on learning objects and semantic Web, together with their application in education, are analyzed and the corresponding e-learning strategies and instruments are compared with the results from traditional learning contexts. At the end an adaptive e-learning strategy mediating the needs coming from different situations is proposed.
