Worldwide Education Reform raises the importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Education recently. With the abundance of potential learning resources available on theWeb and the pervasive access of the Internet, Web-based learning is becoming a main-stream approach and a major channel for the delivery of teaching and learning materials.One major question in web-based learning is how to harness emerging technologies to provide a learning environment that addresses individual differences in the learning process."Personalization" is an emerging technology for serving the information needs of different users in a different way according to their individual needs.As a means to cater to individual learning needs, this paper proposes the notion of Personalized Education through the Web.Personalization in education can potentially facilitate students to learn better by incorporating different strategies to create a diversity of learning experiences, and also cater to the teacher's teaching needs in preparing and designing teaching and instructional packages.From past experience, using the technologies without regarding pedagogical concepts frequently leads to failure.A clear understanding about what is personalization, how the technology can be applied effectively to enhance or facilitate the education development, and how to fully utilize the potential value of the available resources is a much needed area for research.To address this open problem, this paper concretizes the notion of Personalized Education (PE) from pedagogical underpinning, conceptual development, system architectural design to the design and implementation of a conceptual framework of Personalized Education.
