The smart library architecture of an orientation portal

The high potential for synergies between Knowledge Management (KM) and e-Learning seems obvious given the many interrelations and dependencies of these two fields. However, the relationship has not yet been fully understood and harnessed. This paper intends to unfold the potential achievable by the use of Artificial Neural Networks, in order to integrate the profiling of the student, in terms of competences and preferences, the development of the educational pathways desired and the professional skills to achieve. The adaptive interaction through the students and the Orientation Portal is guaranteed by the flexibility and the scalability of Artificial Adaptive System and their learning by doing approach.
