Overview

ADAPT2 Architecture

ADAPT2 (read adapt-square) - Advanced Distributed Architecture for Personalized Teaching and Training - is a framework targeted at providing personalization and adaptation services for developers of content that lacks personalization.

ADAPT2 consists of the following principal components.

  • Knowledge Tree - portal
  • CUMULATE - user-modeling server
  • Adaptive Shells
  • Content Servers
  • PERSEUS - personalization service engine

Knowledge Tree

Knowledge Tree is a learning portal that aggregates learning content and structures the courses available for learners. Knowledge Tree authenticates users and maintains user identity records. (more on Knowledge Tree)

CUMULATE

CUMULATE is a cental user modeling server responsible for collecting evidence of user activity and for generating assertions about user knowledge and mastery. (more on CUMULATE)

Adaptive Shells

Adaptive shells aka value-adding services - are providing adaptation and personalization. They serve as wrappers for learning objects from content servers. Examples of adaptive shells include NavEx, QuizGuide, and Knowledge Sea II.

Content Servers

Content servers provide learning objects for students to interact with. Content servers that work with ADAPT2 include: WebEx, QuizPACK, c/jWADEIn, SQLKnoT, QuizJET (PAWS native), SQLTutor (University of Canterbury, New Zealand) Jeliot (Johensuu University), Problets (Ramapo College, US).
