Dynamic Generation of Adaptive Tutoring
Khulood Gaid, Eshaa M. Alkhalifa · IGI Global eBooks · 2012
Adaptive Educational Systems are able to alter an online course as per the needs of each student. Existing technologies require significant time and effort to design and build such courses. This chapter offers a solution allowing instructors to build a practical adaptive system as they upload their lessons and tests to the online site. The system asks the instructor to associate multiple choice answers that are incorrect with error pattern names and to associate the error patterns with lessons students need to review. The result is that the adaptable system is dynamically built as the course progresses. A student views a student profile screen that is adapted to that student’s level of knowledge and displays that student’s misconceptions. On the other hand, an instructor can use a reports view of the system to extract common error co-occurrences and infer information about the difficulties faced by students in that course.
