Abstract (2. Language): 
E-learning is currently considered as a valid and effective didactic methodology in courses at different levels such as high-school or university education, or net-based teaching. In scientific fields the adoption of e-Learning is more complex since courses have to include not only theoretical concepts but also practical activities on specific instrumentation. Over the past two decades, diverse research efforts have been made towards the personalization of e-learning platforms. This feature increases remarkably the quality of the provided learning services, since the users’ special needs and capabilities are respected. The idea of predicting the users’ preferences and adapting the e-learning platform accordingly is the focal point of this paper. This paper discusses different control systems in virtual educational system and highlights their properties. In conclusion, we derive data flow diagram (DFD) of a control system in e-learning environment designed to aid the managers for better control and decision making.
