A New Approach to Authoring of Adaptive Courseware for Engineering Domains
نویسنده
چکیده
Our approach provides an alternative to traditional CAL-authoring. It is based on a different concept of a course, that is generated dynamically during instruction in a way to suit better the student's individual progress and preferences. The teacher is actively involved in the creation of a course without the need of knowledge in authoring. The actual authoring process is shifted to a higher level: the author has to represent explicitly the structure of the concepts and links that have to be taught. The system uses this knowledge to generate different course-plans for different goals and execute them by selecting presentation materials, depending on the teacher's instructions and the student's preferences. An application of this approach in an engineering domain is shown.

Adaptive E-Learning Content Generation based on Semantic Web Technology
The efficient authoring of learning content is a central problem of courseware engineering. Courseware authors will appreciate the benefits of tools which automate various authoring tasks. We describe a system, OntAWare, which provides an environment comprising a set of software tools that support learning content authoring, management and delivery. This system exploits an opportunity provided ...
متن کاملCourseware Authoring Tasks Ontology
Authoring of concept-based Web courseware is more complicated than the ‘standard’ courseware authoring and thus needs more adaptive and intelligent support. In order to provide such support the authoring system itself needs to have understanding about the process of courseware authoring, to be able to decompose it in steps and procedures and reason over it; to provide hints and recommendations ...

During last decade, a great advance has been done in both theoretical research and software construction of Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS). The article discusses the practical approach taken for authoring and instructional design of adaptive courseware based on learner character, namely learner goals and preferences, learner style, and learner performance and satisfaction level. This approac...
متن کاملModel-driven Transformation and Validation of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia using CAVIAr
Authoring of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia is a complex activity requiring the combination of a range of design and validation techniques. We demonstrate how Adaptive Educational Hypermedia can be transformed into CAVIAr courseware validation models allowing for its validation. The model-based representation and analysis of different concerns and model-based mappings and transformations are k...
