Abstract

In times of decreasingly homogeneous educational backgrounds and experiences and increasingly diverse educational target groups and circumstances, the need for educational content that caters to individuals and their specific situations rather than broad groups is rising.

We describe our approach to “guided tours”, a framework of educational dialogues that are assembled and tailored on the fly to an individual learner’s knowledge and educational experience as part of the intelligent tutoring system ALeA.

Notes

  1. 1.

    These may well be different from the prerequisites of L and additionally can be further specified for individual answer classes, as discussed in [9].

  2. 2.

    A more complete version of the prototype dialogue is at https://courses.voll-ki.fau.de/exp/pp_dialogue_tour.

  3. 3.

    We use “dependency” here to mean that when the definition of a concept \(C_1\) uses concept \(C_2\), then \(C_1\) depends on \(C_2\). Note that the dependency relation is a strict partial ordering and thus acyclic.

  4. 4.

    In the interactive version of the dialogue, this diagram is actually an animation (licensed CC-BY, attribution William B. Faulk), which is easier to understand.

Acknowledgments

The work reported in this article was conducted as part of the VoLL-KI project (see https://voll-ki.de) funded by the German Research/Education Ministry under grant 16DHBKI089. The work reported here has profited significantly from discussion in the VoLL-KI group.

The design of the ALeA system inherits a lot of the intuitions from the ActiveMath/LeActiveMath system [10], which was based on an early version of OMDoc [6]. The concept of a guided tour discussed in this paper is informed by the realisation – initially suggested by the second author – in ActiveMath, but the representational basis and eventual shape are completely distinct.
