The just-in-time generation of personalized learning experiences requires the assembly of atomic learning assets into coherent learning activities for a learner, based on his/her preferences and requirements. Through the appropriate application of pedagogical strategy to a learner's learning activities the effectiveness and efficiency of his/her learning can increase significantly. The strategies behind this process should be pedagogically informed to ensure the learning experience is suitable for the learner and the environment in which they are carrying out his/her learning. By utilizing appropriate pedagogical strategies in the personalization process, learning objects generated for a learner will not only be appropriate to what they wish to learn, but also to how they should learn it. This article describes the Selector and LO Generator services of the iClass IST project and the approach taken to producing pedagogically sound personalized learning experiences using a standards based approach.
