Abstract: Adaptation becomes more and more important in modern educational systems. Building an Adaptive Learning System requires granular and reusable content. The main goal of this paper is to examine the learning content granularity and its impact on the ability to adapt, aggregate and to arrange content suiting to the needs and preferences of the learner. We propose a new model of learning resources focusing on levels of fine-grained content. The core feature of our model is the use of learning objects approach, the educational standards and a synthesis of recent research made on the granularity concept. We will so define a new reformulation of granularity and we discuss it as a fundamental point to achieve adaptability and individualisation required in ALSs.
