Authoring courses with rich adaptive sequencing for IMS learning design
This paper describes the process of translating an adaptive sequencing strategy designed using Sequencing Graphs to the semantics of IMS Learning Design. The relevance of this contribution is twofold. First, it combines the expressive power and flexibility of Sequencing Graphs, and the interoperability capabilities of IMS. Second, it shows some important limitations of IMS specifications (focusing on Learning Design) for the sequencing of learning activities
Third international workshop on Authoring of adaptive and adaptable educational hypermedia (A3EH), Amsterdam, 18-22 July, 2005
The A3EH follows a successful series of workshops on Adaptive and Adaptable Educational Hypermedia. This workshop focuses on models, design and authoring of AEH, on assessment of AEH, conversion between AEH and evaluation of AEH. The workshop has paper presentations, poster session and panel discussions
User modeling In adaptive hypermedia educational systems
This document is a survey in the research area of User Modeling (UM) for the specific field of Adaptive
Learning. The aims of this document are: To define what it is a User Model; To present existing and well known
User Models; To analyze the existent standards related with UM; To compare existing systems. In the scientific
area of User Modeling (UM), numerous research and developed systems already seem to promise good results,
but some experimentation and implementation are still necessary to conclude about the utility of the UM. That
is, the experimentation and implementation of these systems are still very scarce to determine the utility of some
of the referred applications. At present, the Student Modeling research goes in the direction to make possible
reuse a student model in different systems. The standards are more and more relevant for this effect, allowing
systems communicate and to share data, components and structures, at syntax and semantic level, even if most
of them still only allow syntax integration
A group learning management method for intelligent tutoring systems
In this paper we propose a group management specification and execution method that seeks a compromise between simple course design and complex adaptive group interaction. This is achieved through an authoring method that proposes predefined scenarios to the author. These scenarios already include complex learning interaction protocols in which student and group models use and update are automatically included. The method adopts ontologies to represent domain and student models, and object Petri nets to specify the group interaction protocols. During execution, the method is supported by a multi-agent architecture
Sequencing educational resources with Seqins
Existing adaptive educational hypermedia systems have been using learning resources sequencing approaches in order to enrich the learning experience. In
this context, educational resources, either expository or evaluative, play a central
role. However, there is a lack of tools that support sequencing essentially due to
the fact that existing specifications are complex. This paper presents Seqins as a
sequencing tool of digital educational resources. Seqins includes a simple and flexible sequencing model that will foster heterogeneous students to learn at different
rhythms. The tool communicates through the IMS Learning Tools Interoperability
specification with a plethora of e-learning systems such as learning management
systems, repositories, authoring and automatic evaluation systems. In order to validate Seqins we integrate it in an e-learning Ensemble framework instance for the
computer programming learning domain
Applications of semantic web technology to support learning content development
The Semantic Web is based on ontology technology – a knowledge representation framework – at its core to make meaning explicit and more accessible to automatic processing. We discuss the potential of this technology for the development of content for learning technology systems. We survey seven application types demonstrating different forms of applications of ontologies and the Semantic Web in the development of learning technology systems. Ontology technologies can assist developers, instructors, and learners to organise, personalise, and publish learning content and to discover, generate, and compose learning content. A conceptual content development and deployment architecture allows us to distinguish and locate the different applications and to dis-cuss and assess the potential of the underlying technologies
