An intelligent learning environment (ILE) can adapt the educational interaction to the specific needs of the individual learner according to learner profile. Learner profile is all information which the system holds about the learner. The learner profile also provides guidances and supports to teachers and the assessment systems. Therefore, learner profile has become an interesting field in e-learning researches. The main problems in learner profile researches are how to choose a good learner profile model (or what information should be stored?) and what is a good representation of learner profile for a specific user in a specific context? In this paper, we first review some e-learning systems and related papers to identify a good viewpoint which allow us to identify information which is needed in a learner profile. We then propose a learner profile model based on that view and how to present the information in the learner profile.
