AdAPTIVE Learning Environments UG4/MSc 2011-2012
Assessed assignment 2
You should spend about 12 hours on each assignment (maximum 16
hours). Coursework accounts for 30% of the credit available, the
examination is worth 70%. Two coursework assignments are set for 4th
year students and three for MSc/MINF students.
The deadline for submission is:
now Monday 12th March
Submit the assignment either by hand to the ITO office, or using the
submit program (the latter is preferred).
submit ale1 2 filename-of-your-submission.pdf
where 2 is the assignment number. In the latter case your submission
should be a .pdf file.
The second assignment is to write an essay based on a small
review of related literature, covering c.3 to 5 papers (you may use
more papers if you wish, but are not required to in this case).
You
should
not
spend
more than 16 hours on this assignment. Your report
should be at least 4 pages (c. 2,000 words) long. You should
choose one of the following questions to address. In each
case a number of relevant researchers are named to help with your
research - note these are just examples - you can choose to use these
or others.
a. What is the role of Affect and
Motivation in Adaptive Learning Environments?
b. What is the role of Participatory
Design in Adaptive Learning Environments?
and see
International Journal of
Artificial Intelligence in Education, 16/4, 2005/6, Special Issue
on
"Learner Centred Methods for Designing Intelligent Learning
Environments". Note that "learner centred design" here means design that is
learner centred,i.e. involving the participation of learners and
other stakeholders (e.g. teachers) in the design process. Not
to
be
confused
with systems that are learner centred in their approach
to teaching (hence preferring the term "participatory design" here).
c. What is the role of Game-Based
Learning in Adaptive Learning Environments?
