Abstract

Each day, users look for digital tools, smarter, usableand adaptable, that make their life easier. Learning manage-ment systems with these features, are the ones that becomemore valuable for those who use them, but most of LMSare not flexible about the student's specific needs. This articlepresents an adaptative prototype, aimingto offer the usersof the LMS platform better experiences related to navigation, through adaptative user interface, using existing informationabout each user. To achieve that, we propose the use ofdata obtained from applications such as the user model, theevaluation module, the calendar and the navigation history, to adapt the user interface according to the specific needs ofeach user. This article proposes a prototype that can be usedto achieve adaptability. It was validated by 20 users using ausability test and the results show how this prototype will beuseful to them.
