Computer-Implemented Frameworks and Methodologies for Generating, Delivering and Managing Adaptive Tutorials

摘要

Described herein are computer-implemented frameworks and methodologies for generating and delivering adaptive tutorials. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed for providing an improved computer-implemented learning environment. While some embodiments will be described herein with particular reference to that application, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a field of use, and is applicable in broader contexts.

1. A computer implemented method for enabling the generation of an adaptive tutorial, the method including:
providing a tutorial authoring interface enables an author-user to define adaptive tutorial by steps including:
defining a task;associating a simulation with the task, wherein the simulation has simulation state data;associating one or more input objects with the task, such that a user is enabled to provide data in response to the task, wherein each input object has associated input object state data;defining a plurality of trap states, wherein each trap state is associated with a set of trap state conditions that may be satisfied by the simulation state data and input object state data; andfor each trap state, defining a control instruction that is applied when the trap state conditions are satisfied; wherein the control instruction includes any one or more of: providing feedback; navigation to a specified task; updating values in a specified database; and/or modifying the simulation state data; and the defined adaptive tutorial is configured to be completed a student-user when rendered on a client terminal.
