We have developed a Web based multimedia educational system, which has been designed to provide support for both synchronous and asynchronous distance learning. On the one hand, the system enables the instructors to produce and the students to receive asynchronous customized educational material under the different form of HTML slides, digital audio/video lectures, software packages and simulating instruments for laboratory activities. On the other hand, the system allows users (students and

In this paper we show how by exploiting the potentiality of adaptive techniques, markup languages, and networked multimedia technologies, our educational tool is able to provide each different user with an educational support tailored to his/her personal profile and didactical needs.
