Adaptive learning systems can be susceptible to between-subject cross-condition interference by design. This interference has important implications for the implementation and evaluation of A/B tests in such systems, as it obstructs causal inference and hurts external validity. We illustrate the problem in an Elo based adaptive learning system, discuss sources and degrees of interference, and provide solutions, using an example in the study of dropout.

AbstractThere have been some hindrances in the process of programming learning. An adaptive learning system, such as ELaC, Java Guide, and Java Grader provides an adaptable learning content that can accommodate the learning styles as well as preferences of each learning individual. Moreover, an adaptive learning system can help students of different capabilities in learning programming. This study examined the outcomes of the implementation of an adaptive learning system in programming learning, as well as some finding results that were conducted according to the Systematic Literature Review framework. The research questions of this research were: problems faced during learning of programming as a background of system development, advantages and disadvantages of the system characteristics, technology, features, and effectiveness of the developed adaptive learning system. This research produced concepts that are summed up upon the related resources. The results of this study summarized whether the use of adaptive learning systems in learning programming could overcome the problems encountered during the learning process.

This paper presents a cognitive multi-agents architecture called Intelligent Cognitive Agents (InCA) that was elaborated for the design of Intelligent Adaptive Learning Systems. The InCA architecture relies on a personal agent that is aware of the user's characteristics, and that coordinates the intervention of a set of expert cognitive agents (such as story telling agents, assessment agents, stimulation agents or help agents). This InCA architecture has been applied for the design of K"InCA, an e-learning system aimed at helping people to learn and adopt knowledge-sharing management practices.

This paper describes an adaptive learning system based on mobile phone email to support the study of Japanese Kanji. In this study, the main emphasis is on using the adaptive learning to resolve one common problem of the mobile-based email or SMS language learning systems. To achieve this goal, the authors main efforts focus on three aspects: sending the contents to a learner following his or her interests, adjusting the difficulty level of the tests to suit the learner’s proficiency level, and adapting the system to his or her learning style. Additionally, this system has already been evaluated by the learners and the results show that most of them benefited from the system and would like to continue using it.

One advantage of an adaptive learning system is the ability to personalize learning to the needs of individual users. Realizing this personalization requires first a precise diagnosis of individual users’ relevant attributes and characteristics and the provision of adaptability-enabling resources and pathways for feedback. In this paper, a preconcept system is constructed to diagnose users' cognitive status of specific learning content, including learning progress, specific preconcept viewpoint, preconcept source, and learning disability. The “Force and Movement” topic from junior high school physics is used as a case study to describe the method for constructing a preconception system. Based on the preconception system, a method and application process for diagnosing user cognition is introduced. This diagnosis method is used in three ways: firstly, as a diagnostic dimension for an adaptive learning system, improving the ability of highly-adaptive learning systems to support learning activities, such as through visualization of the cognition states of students; secondly, for an attribution analysis of preconceptions to provide a basis for adaptive learning organizations; and finally, for predicting the obstacles users may face in the learning process, in order to provide a basis for adaptive learning pathways.

Modern trends in the development of educational software are associated with adaptive learning systems that can personalize the learning process. One of the key quality indicators of any learning system is user engagement in learning process. The known methods for assessing engagement of users of computer systems are based on collecting of various data on the user’s behavior, his emotional and neurophysiological state, etc., and interpreting it in the context of involvement. Confidence in the results of assessments based on interpretations may be insufficient to make decisions based on these results, which is of fundamental importance in case of using in adaptive learning systems. And besides not all the methods can be used online, which is a prerequisite for application in adaptive learning systems. A method for online assessing engagement has been developed, based on a combination of oculography, emotion analysis and web analytics methods, which is applicable for adapting the learning process in adaptive learning systems. The joint analysis of the physiological state and behavior (actions) of the user allows to take into account various aspects of the possible manifestation of the user engagement, and increase the confidence in the results of the assessment of engagement. Quantitative engagement indicators based on metrics applicable to online engagement assessment are suggested. Due to ambiguity of possible interpretations of quantitative indicators of involvement, a generalized assessment of engagement is determined using a fuzzy inference mechanism. To assess engagement a linguistic variable is used and a method for assessing user engagement is based on fuzzy rules. The proposed method is implemented in a web application that can be used to assess involvement online in adaptive learning systems. To set the linguistic variable for assessing engagement, an experiment will be conducted with the participation of users of learning systems and external experts. The values of the linguistic variable will be defined in such a way that the result of assessing involvement, obtained using the developed method, does not contradict the results of expert assessments.

Several researches in the field of adaptive learning systems has developed systems and techniques to guide the learner and reduce cognitive overload, making learning adaptation essential to better understand preferences, the constraints and learning habits of the learner. Thus, it is particularly advisable to propose online learning systems that are able to collect and detect information describing the learning process in an automatic and deductive way, and to rely on this information to follow the learner in real time and offer him training according to his dynamic learning pace. This article proposes a multi-agent adaptive learning system to make a real decision based on a current learning situation. This decision will be made by performing a hypride cycle of the Case-Based Reasonning approach in order to follow the learner and provide him with an individualized learning path according to Felder Silverman learning style model and his learning traces to predict his future learning status. To ensure this decision, we assign at each stage of the Incremental Hybrid Case-Based Reasoning at least one active agent performing a particular task and a broker agent that collaborates between the different agents in the system.
