It is a common fact that modern e-learning schemes lack educational content representation and user personalisation. In this framework, automated extraction of user profiles, to be used in an e-learning content offering system, forms an interesting and important problem. In this approach we present the design and implementation of such a profile-based system, by which content is matched to its environmental context, so that it can be adapted to its user's needs and capabilities.
