Adaptive Courseware: A Literature Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives a detailed description of how adaptivity is realized in e-learning systems, with a focus on adaptivity of courseware. The review aims to answer three basic questions on adaptive courseware: what has been adapted, how and why. Researchers have tried to adapt according to these different elements: student knowledge, behaviour, interests, preferences, learning style, cognitive style, goals, courseware presentation, navigation, annotation, sequencing and knowledge testing. An historical background of adaptivity is described: from word definition, through adaptive instructions and adaptive systems, all the way to adaptive courseware. The biggest challenge was to find the most prominent representatives of adaptive systems in courseware generation that were selected after an exhaustive search through relevant scientific paper databases. Each prevailing system is briefly described and the student features, to which the system adapts, are highlighted, together with the level of adaptation. This paper aims to provide important information to researchers, educators and software developers of computer-based educational software ranging from elearning systems in general to intelligent tutoring systems in particular. Such an analysis has not been done so far, especially in a way that adaptive systems are described uniformly. Finally, a comparative analysis of those systems and conclusions and demands about the ultimate adaptive system is given. This paper can be used as a guide for making decisions about what to adapt, how and why, while designing an adaptive e-learning system.

متن کاملWhat Is Resilience and How Can It Be Nurtured? A Systematic Review of Empirical Literature on Organizational Resilience
Background Recent health system shocks such as the Ebola outbreak of 2014–2016 and the global financial crisis of 2008 have generated global health interest in the concept of resilience. The concept is however not new, and has been applied to other sectors for a longer period of time. We conducted a review of empirical literature from both the health and other sectors to synthesize evidence on ...
