Summary:One of the most important challenges that the education will have to face is the need to adapt the learning process to the student’s characteristics. Nowadays it is still noticed the weak technological support and the few personalised learning practices. Two main types of e-learning platforms have been developed for last years: Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems. Both lines of development are converging so that the new versions of the LMS incorporate adaptive capacities that are allowing to design individualized or differentiated instruction. In this paper the adaptive functionalities available in Moodle are checked. It is explained how to implement three adaptive instructional designs in Moodle. Moreover, it is checked their effectiveness, in terms of the learning achieved by the student, and their efficiency, by reusing materials of previous learning experiences.
