E-learning is a promising research area, as they are expected to increase enrollment and improve the quality of education. Adaptive e-learning systems, traditionally focused on content personalization, are in need to cope with continuous changing requirements and changing environment. Indeed, the specification and the management quality attributes of such systems, supported throughout the whole lifecycle are still missing. In this paper, we propose continuous requirements monitoring that uses a constraint program to check the conformity of adaptive e-learning systems to their requirements and react properly when deviations occur at runtime. To this end, we specify system's requirements in the form of a dynamic software product line. A novel requirements engineering language that combines goal-driven requirements with features and claims is applied for the specification, from which the constraint program is automatically generated.
