A generic framework of intelligent adaptive learning systems: from learning effectiveness to training transfer

To provide guidance for adaptive learning systems designers, this paper reviews evolution of learning theories and their associated progress, which is eenabled by computers, artificial intelligence, and augmented cognition. A generic conceptual framework, of intelligent adaptive learning systems is discussed in detail for individualized learning. The utility of such design methodologies is illustrated through an example of a customized intelligent tutoring system for IED disposal operator training. This testbed approach is the first phase of truly determining the utility and effectiveness of intelligent adaptive learning systems for multiple fields of use in the ever complicated spectrum of society’s education and training needs.
