N2 - Typical learning management systems consider only little or, in most cases, no adaptivity. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive mechanism which enables such systems to provide students with courses that fit their individual learning styles. The adaptive mechanism is based on an advanced student modelling approach which identifies learning styles by automatic, dynamic, and global student modelling. Based on the identified learning styles, the adaptive mechanism composes courses that match the students' learning styles, aiming at making learning easier for students. Furthermore, the adaptive mechanism aims at being easy to use for teachers by being generic and adaptable for teachers, allowing them to adjust the mechanism to their course structure and preferences.
