Evolutive Platform - A Genetic E-Learning Environment

“…An adaptability algorithm computes this so-called personalized path, corresponding to the course construction and curriculum sequencing (Shang et al, 2001, as cited in Madhour & Forte, 2010). The process is twofold:…”

“…Hence, courseware is meant to be tailored according to the learner's needs. Two main families of computerized applications aspire to offer this adaptability: Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) (Brusilovsky, 1992, as cited in Madhour & Forte, 2010) and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) (Brusilovsky, 1996, as cited in Madhour & Forte, 2010).…”

“…Intelligent Tutoring Systems (Brusilovsky, 1992, as cited in Madhour & Forte, 2010) rely on curriculum sequencing mechanisms to provide the student with a path through the learning material. An adaptability algorithm computes this so-called personalized path, corresponding to the course construction and curriculum sequencing (Shang et al, 2001, as cited in Madhour & Forte, 2010).…”

“…This process is called intelligent solution analysis (Serengul & Smith-Atakan, 1998, as cited in Madhour & Forte, 2010).…”

“…Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) (Brusilovsky, 1992, as cited in Madhour & Forte, 2010) was born as a trial to combine ITS and AH. As in ITS, adaptive education hypermedia focus on the learner, while at the same time it has been greatly influenced by adaptive navigation support in educational hypermedia (Brusilovsky, 1996, as cited in Madhour & Forte, 2010.…”
