| dc.description | Our paper entitled “Designer - Supporting Teachers Experience in Learning Management Systems” has been accepted for presentation at the International Conference on Web-based Learning in Sinaia, Romania. This conference is one of the top conferences in the area of technology enhanced learning and the acceptance of our paper at this conference provided us with the chance to present our work to leading researchers in our area.
In our paper, we introduced Designer, an approach for teachers to help them in designing courses via a semi-automatic design process based on dynamic user modeling and adaptive learning design generation. In a virtual learning environment supporting the competence development process as well as providing students with personalized/adaptive courses ends up being an elusive and time-consuming task for teachers and/or instructional designers. Our proposed tool, Designer, aims at addressing this issue by supporting teachers to create adaptive courses based on students’ competencies and learning styles. A qualitative and quantitative evaluation demonstrated the effectiveness of Designer in supporting teachers to create such adaptive courses.
The presentation of our paper was received very well and leaded to many questions after the presentation, further discussions during the conference, many ideas for future research, and a potential collaboration with an international research group. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | In the lifelong learning context, the efficiency of learning is measured according to the users’ achievement of the target competences. However, in a virtual learning environment supporting the competence development process ends up being an elusive and time-consuming task for teachers or instructional designers. Furthermore, tailoring courses to the individual learner’s needs and preferences has high potential to improve the learning process of learners. However, again, this is a time-consuming and complex task for teachers and instructional designers. In this paper, we introduce Designer, an approach for teachers to help them in designing courses via a semi-automatic design process based on dynamic user modeling and adaptive learning design generation. A qualitative and quantitative evaluation demonstrated the effectiveness of Designer in supporting teachers to create adaptive courses. | en |
