Conlan, Owen, and Vincent P. Wade. "Evaluation of APeLS–an adaptive elearning service based on the multi-model, metadata-driven approach." International Conference on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-Based Systems. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2004.
Keywords: Student Evaluation, Domain Focus, eLearning Service, Adaptive eLearning, Common Lecture
What’s the Big Idea: Adaptive content that doesn’t focus on pedagogical soundness results in beautiful systems that are unusable.
Terms to get familiar with: Adaptive Hypermedia domain, APeLS (Adaptive Personalized eLearning Service)
Research questions/Hypothesis, methods used in research/conclusions: The paper describes the evaluation of APeLS, a personalized eLearning service based on a generic adaptive engine. They show through experimentation how a personalized course had a beneficial effect.
