What is A-WBLE?
An adaptive web based learning environment gathers user’s information and preferences, builds an individual model based on the individual’s preferences and knowledge, applies adaptive methods to accommodate each individual based on the developed model, and monitors user action and learning process to provide new information to update the user’s model, thereby granting a more effective and efficient system.
Advantages A-WBLE
Increases the interaction between users and material Decreases distractions from learning tasks Manages individual differences by providing students
with a more personal experience through incorporating different instructional strategies, resources, and learning environment
Adaptive model : Steps
Gathering: Collecting student’s prior preferences, knowledge, skills and attitudes
Monitoring: Observing student sequences, interaction, errors, pace
Inference: Inferring what these collected data tell about other parameters
Prediction: Predicting learner’s knowledge and level of motivation in the following learning tasks
Adapting: Making adjustments to the system based on collected and inferred data
Updating: Altering student model continuously according to collected and monitored data throughout the learning process
Adaptive Methods
Adaptive Content
Adjusting the organization, format, or amount of content
Adaptive Sequencing
Ordering content in the most suitable way Adaptive Navigation and Orientation
Changing the appearance and structure of navigations
Direct guidance, link annotation or hiding links
Adaptive Methods
Adaptive Support and FeedbackProviding intelligent help during learning process regarding student actions
Adaptive Learning ActivitiesProviding different treatment for each user
Adaptive Interaction Adjusting communication type to increase learner engagement in the learning process
Adaptive Methods
Adaptive Assessment & Grading
Applying different type of assessment procedures and grading options
Adaptive Collaboration
Using system knowledge about different users to form a matching collaboration group
Adaptive Interface
Changing visual interface of the pages according to individual preferences
Adaptive Methods
Adaptive Social ContextTo maintain interest or user appeal by providing an adjusted social context
Adaptive Individualization LevelGiving options to each individual to decide the system adaptation level

Instructor Requirement Institutional Requirement Maintenance Requirement Ethical Requirement Quality Requirement Implementation Requirement
Conclusion
While designing the online instruction in a more effective manner, developers have to deal with all aspects of the teaching-learning process. Therefore, adaptive methods should go beyond the adaptive content and navigation
Even if a system provides all adaptive methods according to individual characteristics, it does not guarantee learning will always occur.
