I just wanted to share with you today an article that will be published soon in Contemporary Educational Technology. This is pretty new journal, and my information says that we will be published in volume 1, issue 2 in April. This article was written with a former student Fethi Inan, who is a faculty member at Texas Tech University, now. We started this article a number of years back, and I am glad to see that he’s had some help cleaning it up and getting it published. I’ll share the abstract with you below, and attach the article for your bedtime reading. I’d love to hear your thoughts about what we’ve written, and give a shout-out to Fethi and his good work, too.
Abstract
Adaptive Web-Based Learning Environments (A-WBLEs) provide mechanisms to individualize instruction (e.g., content, interface, strategies, and assessment) for learners based on their individual differences. In this paper, various adaptive methods influencing the design of AWBLEs are explained and how these methods aim to address individual differences is discussed. Empirical evaluations of adaptive systems are synthesized and four levels for categorizing AWBLEs are created to provide a guideline for the future design and development of A-WBLEs .
