Supporting personalised simulations: a pedagogic support framework for modelling and composing adaptive dialectic simulations

Personalisation in Simulations for eLearning is a novel approach which requires a high level of designer support. This support not only involves the model complexity of the simulation but more importantly the complexities of integrating educational development best practice. This paper describes an approach to supporting personalised simulations in eLearning. This is achieved by providing a pedagogically informed support framework for modelling and composing adaptive dialectic simulations. Presently this research is being extensively evaluated in the School of Medicine at the University of Dublin, Trinity College
