Adaptive learning has garnered researchers' interest. The main issue within this field is how to select appropriate learning objects (LOs) based on learners' requirements and context, and how to combine the selected LOs to form what is known as an adaptive learning path. Heuristic and metaheuristic approaches have achieved significant progress on…

Despite its advantages and potentials, the extent of the implementation of adaptive learning remains limited. Recent studies identified the critical determinants associated with its scaled implementation and proposed various frameworks and strategies to support it. However, little has been done to identify the empirical relationships between such…

The growing ubiquity of web 2.0 has created a new paradigm shift from traditional education methods and strategies to student-centered Personal Learning Environment (PLE) methods and networks.

The adaptive learning environment provides learning support that suits individual characteristics of students, and the student model of the adaptive learning environment is the key element to promote individualized learning. This paper provides a systematic overview of the existing student models, consequently showing that the Elo rating system…

In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), trust in AI systems is becoming more important. Explainable recommenders, which explain why an item is recommended, have recently been proposed in the field of learning technology to improve transparency, persuasiveness, and trustworthiness. However, the methods for generating explanations are limited…

This article describes methods for operationalizing the concept of interdisciplinarity. The methods respond to the characteristics of giftedness and strategies of differentiation. In selecting and using an interdisciplinary strategy, educators need to consider the compatibility of the purpose or objective of interdisciplinarity to the curriculum…
