Abstract-To achieve the adaptability required in ALS, adaptive learning system (ALS) takes advantage of granular and reusable content. The main goal of this paper is to examine the learning object granularity issue which is directly related with Learning Object (LO) reusability and the adaptability process required in ALS. For that purpose, we present the learning objects approach and the related technologies. Then, we discuss the fine-grained as a fundamental characteristic to reach the adaptability and individualization required in ALS. After that, we present some learning object granularity approaches in the literature before presenting our granularity approach. Finally, we propose an example of implementation of our approach to test its ability to meet the properties associated with fine-grained and adaptability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
