The integration of learning management systems with learning object management systems allows to increase the availability, reuse, integration and adaptability of educational contents according to the characteristics and preferences of the clients. However, given the new trends in the integration of learning objects, software architectures and recommendation systems, it is of high added value to optimize the services offered to customers through an integrated learning management system aimed at the automatic construction of Adaptive training processes in higher education. The main result is the description of an integral system of virtual education based on the competences required by the students, which integrates learning objects (OA) through a semantic OA recommender system and then the system sequencing the OAs to respond to the required competences. The software architecture of the system is structured in two layers: The layer of OA discovery and adaptability and the layer of generation of adaptive training processes, which have as a design principle the web services in order to guarantee the interoperability of the layers.
