Swarm-Based Adaptation: Wayfinding Support for Lifelong Learners
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article introduces an approach to adaptive wayfinding support for lifelong learners based on self-organisation theory. It describes an architecture which supports the recording, processing and presentation of collective learner behaviour designed to create a feedback loop informing learners of successful paths towards the attainment of their learning objectives. The approach is presented as an alternative to methods of achieving adaptation in hypermedia-based learning environments which involve learner modelling.

متن کاملWayfinding swarm creatures exploring the 3D dynamic virtual worlds
The use of 3D virtual worlds in the construction industry is not limited to simulation of building models. Whilst in a 3D virtual world, designers can view their work from various viewpoints by moving around. However explorations within these environments are not simple affairs due to the absence of many sensorial stimuli that exist in the physical world. Hence there needs to be a tool aiding d...
متن کاملA Services-enabled Environment for Personalising Lifelong Learning Pathways
Assisting independent learners to access, compose and manage their learning pathway throughout their life in a range of institutional, informal and work-based settings is a challenging issue on the lifelong learning agenda. In this paper, we present a service-based architecture and an implementation that provides support in planning lifelong learning and creating personalised learning pathways....

Lifelong Learning is a complex environment where strategic planning, coordination and collaboration between partners are needed. Lifelong learners form a rather diverse student population with a variety of backgrounds, evolving needs and varying accessibility requirements. Making lifelong learning happen in practice requires learners becoming more aware of their own studying and thinking proces...
