For effective adoption of e-Learning systems, the student's needs and context must be taken into consideration when delivering content. One of the most interesting challenges in this area is the selection of an Adaptive Curriculum Sequencing that provides individualized instruction. Such a challenge is known in the literature as an NP-hard problem, causing frequent use of meta-heuristics, particularly of Evolutionary Computing, to approximate the best solution. In this paper a review of the latest works in this field of research is presented with a comparison model according to the variables used for the sequencing.

Adaptive Curriculum Sequencing (ACS) is still a challenge in Adap-tive Learning field. ACS is a NP-Hard problem especially considering the constraints of the student and learning materials when selecting a sequence from repositories where several sequences could be chosen. Therefore, this has stimulated researchers to use evolutionary approaches in the search for satisfactory solutions. This work uses the Prey-Predator Algorithm, which have shown to be suitable for the problem, according to laboratory experiments, although it is a solution not yet explored in the Adaptive Learning literature.

A Busca como um Processo de Aprendizagem (BPA) afirma que os mecanismos de buscas devem oferecer suporte aos usuários com meios para aprender durante este processo. Os estudos anteriores foram responsáveis por propor BPA como uma agenda de pesquisa, trazendo perspectivas de investigação e desafios a serem superados. Este artigo apresenta uma visão geral desta área de pesquisa a partir de uma análise das publicações. Foram selecionados 62 trabalhos onde nós buscamos identificar os principais autores, a linha do tempo de publicações e os principais tópicos de pesquisa. Nós acreditamos que esta pesquisa é capaz de auxiliar no desenvolvimento de BPA como uma área de pesquisa, estimulando novas propostas
