Description
Summary:The instructional activity model (IAM) is a general purpose model to generate an adaptive learning course which is compatible with the SCORM standard. IAM is composed of related activity tree (AT) nodes and capability nodes. Prerequisites are capabilities supposed to possess before learning an AT while contributions are capabilities after learning an AT. IAM model supports the adaptive learning sequencing by considering the relationships between AT and capability nodes. However, the IAM model does not take the transfer of learning into consideration. In this paper, we propose the mechanism to integrate the concept of learning transfer to the IAM model. In our proposed mechanism, the relationships between capabilities are considered based on the similarity measure between capabilities. The selection process of IAM model is also modified to reflect the relationships of capabilities.
