LEARNING One size does NOT fit all….

Why is AEH not integrated into every sector of education?

Current use of information technologies to promote learning Difficult to adapt to diverse learner communities Search tools inadequate for all but superficial uses High in cost. Not designed for reuse Rigid Static Single-point answers to a single need Difficult to adapt to special usability needs

What Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) Offers Systems that adapt the learning experience to the skills and needs of the learner Systems that are flexible, allowing the content to be reusable and easily organized in different ways at different instructional levels Systems that are easily adaptable to educators as well as learners

Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Identify Leverage Technology Measurement Achievement Navigation. Online Learning Adaptive Courses Interaction Level Individual Links Personal Relevant Delivery Method Goals Feedback E-learning Real-time Objectives Web-based Learning Direction Systems Customized Background and Skills Learner Progress

Adaptive hypermedia Adaptive = based on a user model Hypermedia = nodes + links

Why is AEH important to the future of education?

Improves achievement and effectiveness More learning taking place online Helps develop meaningful online learning and relationships Enables learner progress and success to be AEHfuture supports learner-centric measured so that target learning needs learning environments can be targeted uses technology to Learners want personalized. AEH solutions improve learning to match their learning needs AEH adapts content to fit Life Long Learning individual real-time objectives Offers a flexible solution to past training problems

What are the goals of AEH?

To make interactive educational materials more affordable To extract a common design To improve instructional effectiveness To provide interactive educational paradigm materials tailored to specific needs of both learners and educators…. . To support customized feedback, To makecontent, learningdelivery, more accessible than ever and interaction levelbefore To direct student focus To correctly understand how individual differences translate into system adjustments To adapt educational materials to individual users based on their known goals, preferences, and …. . all without the need for custom software design prior knowledge

What are the new directions for the personalization of learning?

Using web-based authoring tools to develop online problems that include diagnostic feedback Using learning styles as a common design paradigm for AEH systems Develop multitude templatesfor Develop a amultitude ofoftemplates Adaptive Navigation Support…. . instructional strategies based that can instructional onbe …. . presenting links based for on an individual’s reused in different context and for learning styles, example progress anddifferent present learning knowledge materials Combining human intelligence and artificial intelligence Extract patterns for AEH at different granularity levels

development and evaluation of innovative userand group-adaptive Web-based technologies, systems, and architectures

a link aggregating portal provides authentication and authorization implements a simplified form of access control supports collaborative authoring and social annotation

Co. PE Collaborative Paper Exchange a system that provides community-based access to paper summaries via web currently an in-class tool for both teachers and students

CUMULATE (Centralized User Modeling Architecture for TEaching) collects evidence (events) about student learning from multiple servers that interact with the student stores students' activities and infers their learning characteristics, which are the basis for an individual adaptation to them

Name. Seive news filtering series supports filtering by named entities personalization is not supported yet users are provided with the interface with which they can select important names extracted from the ad-hoc retrieval lists

Adaptive Learning Technologies learner centered focuses on environments that are responsive to learners as individuals

What is ? a visual language for designing adaptive courseware delivered to learners through the web

What is ? an adaptive learning platform that supports interoperation using web services, both in conjunction with enacting courseware designs and in managing domain-specific objects, such as classes, users, and courseware

What is the ADAPT project contributing to AEH Development?

ADAPT Project’s High Level Design Dimensions for AEH Systems Design Dimension Description Context of Use (CU) Where the learners learn Content Domain (DM) The way in which the learners learn Instructional Strategy (IS) Sequence by which the learner learns Instructional View (IV) Shows how well learners are progressing Learner Model (LM) Use of knowledge Adaptation Model (AM) What the learner must do to progress up the hierarchy Detection Mechanism (DE) How well the learner is able to interpret the knowledge These design dimensions can be used to find design patterns in various AEH environments

Looking for good matches between learning styles and application design solutions to be used as design guidelines for adaptive educational hypermedia

ADAPT’s design dimensions are: Concepts Interaction Navigation Layand Activity out. Content

ADAPT uses Curry’s onion model to help clarify learning styles Curry’s model withfor a each layer Learners useupdated technology layer toprior help knowledge with learning Each learning style can vary by learner

The ADAPT model is used to search for patterns Adaptive Hypermedia helps to create the taxonomies The characteristics of the ADAPT model help to create the learner characteristics of which the AEH are designed

AEH continues to be an emerging field with different models to be explored There are still more systems in AEH to explore, but there have been steps made in the right direction Different learning style models in AEH will continue to evolve and allow for more testing by researchers and authors
