Defining adaptive learning design templates for combining design and runtime adaptation in aLFanet

摘要

Adaptive features are expected to improve the effectiveness of thelearning process in online learning. Nevertheless, most current adaptive sys-temsdo not deal with combining design and runtime adaptations. To take ad-vantageof this combination a new adaptive iLMS based on standards, calledaLFanet, is being developed. The system includes: (i) an authoring tool to de-velopcourses IMS-LD compliant, (ii) an adaptive engine based on a multi-agentarchitecture which is intended to cope with several adaptive tasks forvarious types of users (learners, authors and tutors), (iii) a set of advancedpedagogical scenarios that combine design and runtime adaptations to make theauthoring of these type of adaptive courses feasible. In this paper we focus onthe types of adaptations and the process we have defined to facilitate the con-structionof the adaptive scenarios.
