ADAPT goal
• to establish a European platform of standards (guidelines, platform of standards (guidelines, techniques and tools) for user modeling -based adaptability techniques and tools) for user modeling -based adaptability and adaptationand adaptation, in the sense of the new paradigm of intelligent human -computer interaction, based on the new generation of ODL tools, towards individualization of the learning process.
• aims at virtual campuses, e-learning, students tutoring and services, with special focus on adaptation to the learner's needs.

EVALUATION STRATEGIES
• self-evaluation and distribution of own results, partner cross-evaluation, peer evaluation, user feedback (from students and course developers), external experts, opinion exchange, written evaluations, suitability evaluation, using both empirical methods (i.e., user testing) and inspection methods (e.g., heuristic evaluation) and finally an overall achievement test and evaluation.

DISSEMINATION IN THE PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES AND BEYOND
• The initial outputs of the project will be exploited by the partners.
• The output and deliverables list itself includes dissemination of findings and products, via
• international conferences and workshops, • Internet publication (on-line dissemination of
project results and deliverables) and • contacting the IEEE LTTF LTSC standard
committee.

Outcome of the project
• The project’s main outcome is to significantly contribute not only towards standardization of standardization of the new generation of ODL adaptation the new generation of ODL adaptation techniques and toolstechniques and tools, but also to provide alternate styles of teaching and learningalternate styles of teaching and learning, optimally suited for ODL or a combination of ODL and traditional classroom teaching.

Products and outputs• a set of relevant good practices of adaptation techniques for
education and counter-examples, • a minimal set of relevant, necessary features for adaptation
techniques in education and counter-examples, • research of integration of adaptive hypermedia elements into
existing learning environments, • reports, both internal and external (conferences, workshops,
etc.), • a sample authoring system for adaptive techniques in education,
one (or more) training system(s) based on the minimal set of relevant adaptive features,
• evaluation, dissemination and promotion of results.
