MOT is a general authoring system for adaptive hypermedia. This means, MOT can author for different adaptation engines. To achieve this, MOT is exporting to a generic format, called CAF. This represents the static representation of the data. Together with the adaptation strategy, written in the adaptation language, LAG, this system can provide specifications of adaptation for various types of user-model and presentation-model related adaptations.

Adaptive Learning Spaces (ALS) is a European collaborative research project, funded under the Socrates - Minerva Programme, overseen by the European Commission's Education, Audiovisual and Culture Agency Executive Agency (EACEA). The ALS project started on October 1st 2006 and was completed in March 2009. The goal of the ALS project was to provide the technological means through which lack of (or limited amounts of) face-to-face contact between instructors and learners, as well as amongst learners, can be partially compensated for.

PROLEARN was the first so-called 'Network of Excellence' financed by the IST (Information Society Technology - Contract number 507310) programme of the European commission from the years 2004 till 2008 dealing with technology enhanced professional learning. The mission was to bring together the most important research groups in the area of professional learning and training, as well as other key organisations and industrial partners, thus bridging the currently existing gap between research and education at universities and similar organisations and training and continuous education that is provided for and within companies.

GRAPPLE is an EU FP7 STREP Project. GRAPPLE stands for "Generic Responsive Adaptive Personalized Learning Environment". The GRAPPLE project aims at delivering to learners a technology-enhanced learning (TEL) environment that guides them through a life-long learning experience, automatically adapting to personal preferences, prior knowledge, skills and competences, learning goals and the personal or social context in which the learning takes place. The same TEL environment can be used/accessed at home, school, work or on the move (using mobile/handheld devices).
