Intelligent and Adaptive Systems

Intelligence and adaptation have been very important factors in designing learning systems. While the research in the field has yielded much useful information, a lot more remains to be done. We suggest that adopting a granular structure reduces some of the complexity and consideration of the teacher as an environmental context of the system is crucial for its success. The discussion is based on our experience of designing and implementing such a system and the feedback from a comparative independent study.
