Culturally-based adaptive learning and concept analytics to guide educational website content integration

Abstract

In modern learning environments, the lecturer or educational designer is confronted with the mul-ti-nationality of the students, which requires special considerations. That is, taking cultural as-pects into account, having dynamic adaptation of the content to the current context, using adap-tive learning paths, and integration of dynamical content analysis before delivery. We discuss the motivation for such adaptive systems via two scenarios and illustrate afterwards our design for a system to present learning content based on dynamically determined learning paths consistent with learner-profiles. This permits multi-cultural learning scenarios to be offered while respecting the cultural norms and ethics of learners without the need for special segregation of learners or learning content.
