The main goal of this article is to analyse the evolution and challenges of e-learning, with special emphasis on the need to move from a closed space-the virtual classroom-to incorporate adaptive tools that guarantee a much more personalized use. The article describes the evolution of e-learning from a pedagogical and technological point of view and shows how the training spaces have diversified beyond the virtual classroom. E-learning is incorporating more open pedagogical designs in which different people can share content, activities and experiences in formal and informal situations. Research in this field shows that students with less self-regulation capabilities tend to fail. On the contrary, the most successful students show greater efficiency and efficiency in self-regulated learning. Research on the role of students in virtual learning environments highlights the importance of self-regulation processes in the success of the results. Emerging technologies such as the use of adaptive systems, intelligent agents and the learning analytics can facilitate the processes of adaptation and self-regulation. The adoption of these technology can provide real-time information to learners and to facilitate strategies for scaffolding during the learning process.
