Our approach is based on the use of Teaching Tasks in order to guide the student towards the desired goals during the learning process. Student profiles and actions, as well as different teaching strategies, are taken into account to decide the next set of achievable tasks. As a consequence, students are not obliged to follow a linear sequence of actions, and courses are dynamically adapted to each student. This is the approach followed in the InterEdu (Internet in Education) project (Alfonseca et al. 1998)

It performs sentiment analysis of user writings in Facebook walls, classifying each sentence as positive, neutral or negative. Finally, the overall user sentiment is calculated. On one hand, this information is useful to enrich user models for adaptive e-learning systems, so that these systems can adapt any of their aspects (tasks to be proposed to the student, contents, and so on) according to each student sentiment, among other criteria. On the other hand, the polarity of the emotions transmitted by the students enrolled in a course can constitute a useful feedback for the course teacher.

TANGOW takes into account student profile and behaviour as well as teaching strategies. Curriculum sequencing is generated dynamically, so that the same concepts may be taught in different ways, depending on student's profile and his/her actions while interacting with the course. By changing the learning strategy, even the same student may study the same concept in different ways. Additionally, HTML pages are also dynamically generated from general information about the type of media elements associated to each task and their layout. The concrete media elements that appear in these pages are selected 'on the fly', depending on student's profile and learning process. TANGOW stands for Task-based Adaptive learNer Guidance On the Web. 2. TANGOW Architecture The architecture of the TANGOW system is based on the standard Web paradig

Its main aim is to recommend the most suitable activities to be proposed to a specific user at a certain time de-pending on his/her personal features, previous actions and current context (loca-tion, spare time, available devices). The recommendation process also decides whether it is appropriate to alert the user about the availability of the recom-mended activities or, otherwise, the user should not be disturbed at that time. This process is based on rule processing and log analysis. Its basis, illustrated by an example of a specific scenario, is presented.
