Abstract-AHKME e-learning system main aim is to provide a modular and extensible system with adaptive and knowledge management abilities for students and teachers. This system is based on the IMS specifications representing information through metadata, granting semantics to all contents in it, giving them meaning. Metadata is used to satisfy requirements like reusability, interoperability and multipurpose. The system provides authoring tools to define learning methods with adaptive characteristics, and tools to create courses allowing users with different roles, promoting several types of collaborative and group learning. It is also endowed with tools to retrieve, import and evaluate learning objects based on metadata, where students can use quality educational contents fitting their characteristics, and teachers have the possibility of using quality educational contents to structure their courses. The metadata management and evaluation play an important role in order to get the best results in the teaching/learning process.

AHKME's aim is to provide a system with adaptive characteristics and knowledge management abilities for students and teachers. The development of this system is based on metadata, since the knowledge representation is made through it, and knowledge management of all the information in the platform is done using the descriptive metadata. In this system metadata is used to satisfy the requirements of reusability, interoperability and multipurpose. The system provides authoring tools for teachers to define learning methods with adaptive characteristics, as well as tools to create units of learning allowing users with different roles, promoting both collaborative and group learning of several types. To support knowledge management, the system is endowed with tools to retrieve, import and evaluate learning objects, enabling the possibility of students to use quality educational contents that fit their characteristics. And teachers have the possibility of using and retrieving quality educational contents to structure their courses.

AHKME (Adaptive Hypermedia Knowledge Management E-Learning Platform) is an eLearning Information System that has evolved to fulfill the web-based learning requirements when they are compliant with a Web 3.0 philosophy. The ideas behind Web 3.0 are related to more semantic and intelligent systems. AHKME allows teachers to access standardized resources and evaluate integration and reuse possibilities in eLearning systems, not only content but also learning strategy. The educational resources adaptation in AHKME is supported by a set of collaborative tools, which also allow the users’ feedback provision that is stored in system database. The semantic component in AHKME is based on a set of tools for the instructional designer to create and customize specifications and ontologies to give structure and meaning to resources, manual and automatic search with recommendation of resources and instructional design based on the context, and recommendation of adaptations in learning resources. Finally, AHKME takes into account the mobile learning (mLearning) capabilities, allowing access by teachers and students to learning resources, regardless of time and space.
