Adaptive instructional design of engineering online courses

Abstract

Online courses have been designed and experienced to support training in engineering mathematics through the generation of personalized itineraries. Adaptivity of these courses is based on prior knowledge of each student and his/her learning progress. We used the e-learning platform Moodle with Conditionals developed by the Innovation Centre for Information Society at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Here we present the design and results concerning the improvement in learning, user’s satisfaction and lessons learned.
