Pedagogically founded courseware generation for web-based learning: An HTN-Planning-Based Approach Implemented in Paigos
Ullrich, C.
Automatic course generation is a very important area of research with numerous practical applications in e-learning. It has been studied since the 1980s within the fields of intelligent tutoring, AI and education, adaptive hypermediaand web-based educational systems. Many approaches have been proposed, but hardly any have resulted in generic and practically applied systems. A number ofproblems have remained unresolved. These problems are addressed by this work.This book focuses on course generation based on Hierarchical Task Network planning (HTN planning). This course generation framework enables the formalization and application of complex and realistic pedagogical knowledge. The volume describes basic techniques for course generation, which are used to formalize seven different types of courses (for instance, introducing the learner to previously unknown concepts and supporting the learner during rehearsal) and several elementary learning goals (e.g., selecting an appropriate example or exercise).
