Abstract: Adaptive learning is a much needed requirement to improve the efficiency of recommending an e- learning content. Adaptive learning supports learning content specific to a student’s learning behaviour. Hence, it is very important part of adaptive learning to learn and track the student’s learning path and decide the appropriate learning content which can be recommended to an individual. In This paper a survey has been done to propose mechanisms to implement the adaptive learning efficiently in e-learning.

Keywords: e-learning, learning behaviour, learning path, ontology.
