• This paper aims to provide an experimental vision of the process of course creation using learning objects obtained in the e-aula project, a pilot e-learning system conceived as a research platform to study different aspects of adaptive learning. Based on these experiences we analyze how arising educational standards cope with personalization features at different levels of the course creation process, particularly focusing at LO creation and annotation processes. Standardization in e-learning is a relatively novel and complex domain, with many proposals and frequent new versions of the specifications. This makes it hard to obtain mature reference models for implementing standards in current e-learning systems. Our objective is to contribute to the practical application of the learning object approach for course creation by presenting how our system handles e-learning standards (i.e. IEEE LOM), what limitations we encountered in the fulfillment of our personalization objectives, and, finally, by proposing some possible solutions to these limitations.
