Abstract
Personalisation in e-learning systems has become a major research area in recent times, as online learning is gradually evolving to become a major part of formal education. While there exist several learning management systems with a wide range of capabilities, one thing that remains inefficient is a standard framework for sharing knowledge across different platforms and, also, the inability of such systems to provide personalisation to the learning process by default. A large number of systems that have been implemented to provide personalisation apply few parameters and are course-specific; thus, flexibility, reusability, and scalability are greatly reduced. In this paper, we propose a framework for personalised learning, Weighted Agent System for Personalised E-learning Curriculum (WASPEC) implemented with Moodle, which is independent of the learning management system and provides the possibility of incorporating multiple personalisation parameters. This is accomplished with the combined use of web services, semantic web ontologies, and pedagogical agents, providing dynamic personalisation in the background of the e-learning system. This also provides added advantages of the possibility of sharing knowledge with other systems and reusability.

This paper has presented the design and implementation of an e-learning system, Weighted Agent System for Personalised E-learning Curriculum (WASPEC), which delivers a curriculum of personalised courses to learners using Moodle as an learning management systems (LMS)
Summary
E-learning systems were intended to provide learners with information.beginning in the early 1970s, they became more interactive [1]. As e-learning systems evolved to be more interactive, a variety of applications were created to accommodate both the interactive and explorative aspects of the learning process on the web. Examples of such include virtual learning environments (VLE) which allow course instructors to share educational materials and communicate with learners over the web, learning management systems (LMS), which focus more on management in the delivery of learning content to students, allowing for learner participation and progress to be tracked, and content management systems (CMS), which are data repositories where any kind of data (sounds, documents, videos, pictures) can be stored
