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). Supported by the Distributed Learning Initiative contract W911QY13C0032 (2013-2016).
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.
