Agent technologies could be a good approach to solving a number of problems concerned with personalised learning due to their inherent autonomy and independence. In this paper, we describe a number of e-learning scenarios that could be addressed by agent technologies. We then analyse these scenario highlighting how specific agent feature such as collation formation and bargaining (Negotiation) could be used to solve the problem. Our aim is to show how agent systems can not only form a good framework for distributed e-learning systems, but how well they match to situations where learners are themselves autonomous and independent.
