Adaptive Navigation Support and Open Social Learner Modeling for PAL

The goal of this project is to leverage the power of open social learner modeling and adaptive navigation support in the context of the envisioned Personalized Assistant for Learning (PAL). The project is supported by the Distributed Learning Initiative contract W911QY13C0032.

PAWS participation in ADL is focused in the development of MasteryGrids system. Mastery Grids is a visual-rich, interactive, adaptive E-learning platform with integrated functionalities enabling multi-facet social comparison, open user modeling, and multi-type learning materials support. It presents and compares user learning progress and knowledge level (mastery) by colored grids, tracks user activities and feedbacks dynamically and provides flexible user-centered navigation across different content levels (e.g. topic, question) and different content types (e.g. question, example) of learning materials.

Personalized Social Systems for Local Communities

This NSF-supported project aims to explore personalization and social networking for short-term communities. Using academic research conferences as a test bed, the project will explore new methods to leverage information about user interests (available from multiple external resources) and develop techniques to facilitate use of existing social technologies.

Conference Navigator

It offers an enhanced version of a conference schedule. It combines social tagging and social navigation features, but also use accumulated data from existing long-term communities (e.g. Facebook, CiteULike) to help users to find the relevant sessions to attend and to determine the appropriate people to make contact with during the conference. more
