The Adaptive Learning Environment: Customising the System to the Users' Accessibility Needs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer-delivered educational material has great potential for customisation to meet the requirements of individual users, in particular students with disabilities. An adaptive learning environment (ALE) is a system which analyses the student's performance at each stage, using the results to generate the next section's content. This has always been the practice in traditional teaching, but is expensive in resources and dependent on the teacher's skills and experience. Automating this process offers consistency of quality and flexibility. This paper discusses how a set of user characteristics relating to disabilities can be recorded on registration to an ALE. It outlines how this profile can be used to modify the interface's appearance, improving accessibility for the user, and investigates how metatagging the learning objects in the ALE with accessibility tags can further tailor the material delivered. Finally, the paper discusses the implications to computerised assessment of students with disabilities.

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy tracking control approach is proposed for a class of single-inputsingle-output (SISO) nonlinear systems in which the unknown continuous functions may be nonlinearlyparameterized. During the controller design procedure, the fuzzy logic systems (FLS) in Mamdani type are applied to approximate the unknown continuous functions, and then, based on the minimal learnin...
