One of the biggest challenges that many of the 21st-century teachers face in traditional classroom teaching is the difficulty to deal with students from diverse backgrounds. Especially in the case of slow learners they find it so hard to deal with and make them learn their academic subjects. Teachers are giving instructions or delivering learning contents to learners, without understanding the learner profile parameters such as learning style, motivation, attitude, aptitude etc. They should understand the art and science of teaching. In the current education paradigm students are compelled to learn the same learning material at the same time and rate. Hence teachers are expected to adopt new methods and technologies to eliminate this problem. E-learning is an activity where learners are able to achieve their educational goals based on their skills, interest, motivation, learning style etc. Through adaptive learning learners’ exact needs, their goals, preferences, etc. can be achieved during the learning process. Hence, the objective of the study is to develop a frame work of an adaptive learning system which helps the slow learners to be more active and engaged in their learning process.
