Student adaptivity in TILE: a client-server approach

Presents a client-server approach to student modelling that is implemented using agent technology. The student model is divided into client and server parts to facilitate adaptivity in various configurations, such as online, offline and mobile scenarios. The implementation of this approach to student modelling is discussed in the TILE (Technology-Integrated Learning Environment) project, which is researching, evaluating and developing an integrated system for education at a distance, with powerful adaptivity for the management, authoring, delivery and monitoring of such material.
