Abstract
Adaptive course generation is more flexible if it includes mechanisms deciding just-in-time which exercises, which external resources, and which tools to include for an individual student. We developed such a novel delivery framework (called Dynamic Items) that is used by the web-based platform ActiveMath. We describe the framework and discuss several new applications of Dynamic Items for an individual student.
This work was supported by ActiveMath, funded under FP 6t of the European Community (Contract Nr. IST-2003-507826) and by the DFG project ALoE.
