“…The results of their experiment have shown that learning in suitable learning paths could improve students' learning results and saves learning time. This result is in line with previously published studies [7,17,18], which have indicated that learning path adaptivity has successfully guided learner to get satisfactory assessment results.…”

“…In order to generate automatic learning path construction, knowledge elements are used to build a learning path and arrange them in proper sequence [7]. The choice and sequence of knowledge elements can be determined by several characteristics of the student, for instance by their learning styles, preferences, abilities or by some constraints, such prerequisites of the course and length of study.…”

“…A learning path is defined as a sequence of learning tasks or activities which are designated to assist the student in improving their knowledge or skill in the particular subject [7]. The purpose of sequencing learning path is to provide learners with the most suitable individual learning object to learn according to the learner characteristics.…”

Learning path in online learning systems refers to a sequence of learning objects which are designated to help the students in improving their knowledge or skill in particular subjects or degree courses. In this paper, we review the recent research on learning path adaptation to pursue two goals, first is to organize and analyze the parameter of adaptation in learning path; the second is to discuss the challenges in implementing learning path adaptation. The survey covers the state of the art and aims at providing a comprehensive introduction to the learning path adaptation for researchers and practitioners.

“…The model is defined mathematically such that the setting of pedagogy and student learning outcome assessment can be explicitly formulated and reused. Considering the fact that a learning path has two functionalities, specifying a student learning process and connecting student learning outcomes for evaluating student progress, this paper extends [20] to define learning paths with two levels, namely learning activity (LA) and learning task (LT) levels (Section III-B), such that student achievement in both LA-specific and different types of abilities can be comprehensively revealed.…”

Abstract-A learning path (or curriculum sequence) comprises steps for guiding a student to effectively build up knowledge and skills. Assessment is usually incorporated at each step for evaluating student learning progress. SCORM and IMS-LD have been established to define data structures for supporting systematic learning path construction. Although IMS-LD includes the concept of learning activity, no facilities are offered to help define its semantics, and pedagogy cannot be properly formulated. In addition, most existing work for learning path generation is content-based. They only focus on what learning content is delivered at each learning path step, and pedagogy is not incorporated. Such modeling limits the assessment of student learning outcome only by the mastery level of learning content. Other forms of assessments, such as generic skills, cannot be supported. In this paper, we propose a fine-grained outcomebased learning path model allowing learning activities and their assessment criteria to be formulated by Bloom's Taxonomy. Therefore, pedagogy can be explicitly defined and reused. Our model also supports the assessment of both subject content and generic skills related learning outcomes, providing more comprehensive student progress guidance and evaluation.Index Terms-Learning activity, learning path, outcome-based teaching and learning.

“…It is not trivial to transform Web resources into LRs, as relationships among LRs are required to be well defined and LRs should be arranged to deliver in a proper order for students to study. Identifying relevant LRs is essential to learning path [11] generation. Existing work determine such a relevancy by matching student specific requirements, including topics to learn, learning preferences or constraints [4,3] against the characteristics of LRs, which can be maintained by a list of attributes, such as related topic and difficulty level, or additionally by a structure that defines how LRs are related among each other [9].…”
