take care of specifically predefined situations such as
Notifications, Reminders, Problem prevention, User
guiding etc. In our opinion, LMS supplemented by
such capabilities could provide a boosted effect on
the students’ learning process as the Proactive LMS
takes an individual approach for each user and there-
fore could be characterised as a type of intelligent tu-
toring system. However, in order to sustain or mod-
ify the direction of our research activity, we now con-
sider to undertake empirical studies on real-life on-
line courses using the enhanced e-learning platform,
which runs our Proactive Scenarios. We expect to col-
lect the feedback in order to measure the efficiency of
the Proactive Scenarios and thus, to enhance its poten-
tial, and to validate the applied research approaches.
