Teachers by using SPEBC, as a tool to attend the class diversity, will be able to request the generation of assignments and learners will use their voting systems to send the answers in. The adaptation process of the proposed work is based on the creation of the knowledge and learner’s models, being the contribution of this paper the incorporation into these models, the required and background knowledge, grade of difficulty and external representation types. SPEBC will generate multiple-choice and open-ended questions, personalizing the responses according to each learner. The learner’s personalization factors are: background knowledge and external representations. The knowledge content personalization factors are: required knowledge and external representations. The external representation factor is divided into understanding level, grade of difficulty and representation type., Article, ED-MEDIA 2007 : World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia & Telecommunications. 2143-2148 (2007)}, pages = {2143--2148}, publisher = {Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education}, title = {Learners and Knowledge: A New Personalization Factor Perspective for Adaptive Computer-based Assessment Systems}, year = {2007} }
