The proposed e-learning system is avant-garde in the purpose of the e-learning system development trends. The tendency is to replace human teacher, so there are necessary sophisticated techniques to obtain good performance in the conditions of a learner control or machine control in the e-learning system. The techniques are inspired from the living world and have been successfully applied in different types of systems, including e-learning systems. Starting from the theoretical background of the e-learning processes, namely instructional systems, communications and computers theories, the approaches presented in this chapter are relatively new and difficult to implement. As main drawbacks, we mention: heterogeneous teams of experts (IT and specialization experts), initial long time and high costs for developing such systems, lack of computer literacy for some of the students and teachers involved.
The authors consider this chapter as a possible start point for interested teams of e-learning systems developers, in that future preoccupation in this area is to find IT experts willing to implement these techniques in valuable systems.
