In recent years, the field of adaptive web-based systems becomes one of the key research e-learning areas. Efforts are focused on tools for creating and managing content that on the one hand can be adapted to various goals, preferences, knowledge and learning style of a learner and, on the other hand, can be reused by various authors and exchanged between different systems. Our article discusses a proposal for software engine construction to adaptable content delivery and to adaptive process management. This adaptation control engine is a part of the ADOPTA - adaptive technology-enhanced platform for edutainment. Our approach is based on web services that enables, besides reusing and exchanging of learning content, also reusing of application functionality.
