Abstract
In this paper we present the way adaptation techniques and collaboration capabilities have been seamlessly integrated to dynamically generate adaptive collaborative Web-based courses. In these courses collaborative and noncollaborative tasks are dynamically proposed. The most appropriate tasks to be performed, the time at which they are available, the type of collaboration tools provided and the most suitable partners for cooperating with, among others, are decided for each user by considering her personal features, knowledge and behavior while interacting with the course. The student actions while learning individually are considered when deciding the collaboration aspects. Student actions during the collaboration can affect the course evolution. A system to support the generation and delivering of this type of courses is being implemented.
