Adaptive Learning Environments 2 (Level 11) (P01533)

? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 11 ? Acronym : INF-P-ALE2

This course provides the opportunity for students, working in groups, to design, specify, implement and evaluate an adaptive learning environment in order to facilitate learning in relation to a specific task domain.

The course presentation will primarily be group based project work, with a small number of suporting lectures and laboratory sessions. The groups will meet in the tutorial slots.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

It is anticipated that students who successfully complete the course will be able to:
- demonstrate the use of appropriate user-centred design methods through carrying out a specific design task;
- identify a set of design constraints, informed by the user-centred design task, and interpret these in a system design specification;
- use existing tools to design and build an adaptive learning environment that satisifies these design constraints;
- critically review and evaluate the resulting system;
- present the work done as reports, orally and within a system demonstration.

In addition, students should demonstrate the ability to:
- work as part of a team and participate in group decision-making;
- devise and satisfy realistic goals given external time constraints.
