Al-Dujaily, Amal; Kim, Jieun; Ryu, Hokyoung – Educational Technology & Society, 2013
A concern of computer-based learning system design is how to accommodate learners' individual differences during learning activities. Previous research suggests that adaptive e-learning systems can effectively address such individual differences and, consequently, they enable more directed tutoring via computer-assisted instruction. In this paper,…
