Abstract
The task of presenting an optimal personalized learning path in an educational hypermedia system requires much effort and cost particularly in defining rules for the adaptation of learning materials. This research focuses on the adaptive course sequencing method that uses soft computing techniques as an alternative to a rule-based adaptation for an adaptive learning system. In this paper we present recent work concerning concept-based classification of learning object using artificial neural network (ANN). Self Organizing Map (SOM) and Back Propagation (BP) algorithm were employed to discover the connection between the domain concepts contained in the learning object and the learner's learning need. The experiment result shows that this approach is assuring in determining a suitable learning object for a particular student in an adaptive and dynamic learning environment.
