Hi all,
I'm testing and reviewing Adaptive Learning Technologies to answer my questions:
- What are the pedagogical affordances of the platforms?
- What is the algorithm behind any given platform, why is it chosen, and does it have pedagogical implications? Bayesian Knowledge Tracing? Item Response Theory? Rasch? Other?
So far I have found Alosi at alosilabs.org, Concerto at concertoplatform.com, Scale at viseyes.org, Adapt at adaptlearning.org and I consider functionalities in LMS's.
Do you know of other software/platforms I should investigate?
Thank you in advance :)
Mette Søgaard - Thank you for your question. Did you look at these adaptive learning software - 1) ALEKS, 2) SmartUP, 3) Knewton/Alta, 4) Whatfix, 5) Smart Sparrow, 6) DreamBox and 7) ScootPad? I recommend collecting more information on each, also look at uses and how they serve different functions. Then try to see relationships with pedagogical basis. Search the literature also for this connection. I am sure you will find articles covering this connection, particularly if these platforms were reviewed or evaluated from educational perspectives.
Moodle is an open source LMS that includes some adaptive learning feature
Chamilo
Open edX
Totara Learn
Canvas
forma n etc.
I agree with Gayan, moodle is very good LSM with great adaptive learning infrastructure.
Thank you for your suggestions Samy A. Azer and D A Gayan Nayanajith, I'm looking forward to getting to know all of the software and their pedagogical affordances and the pros and cons of the math behind it.
Thanks! :)
Thanks Dr. Roy and Ms. Sogaard for comments and initiating a discussion...
Dear Prof. D A Gayan Nayanajith. Moodle is a good one for adaptive purposes, but it is very time consuming for teachers to use, also as teachers we need some real training to get used to it---I crashed with him the first time I used it---so my humble experience indicates that it is better to start with something easier to use and also less time consuming. Thank you Prof. Mette Søgaard for your interesting thread. Best Regards.
