To achieve this goal, we propose the development of a meta-model for learner models based on competencies, integrating learner production and personal and professional information, IPP, evolving in time and taking into account different viewpoints. This meta-model may be used for creating different kind of learner models which serve different purposes: adaptation of learning to the learner's cognitive state, learning evaluation, self-reflection, team work$\dots $ From these kinds of models, models representing individuals will be instantiated. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{Online learning; learner model; personalization; competency} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-540-69132-7\_83} \end
