Foreword
Automatic course generation is a very important problem with numerous practical applications in e-learning. Therefore, it has been studied since the 1980ies in the areas of intelligent tutoring, AI and education, adaptive hypermedia and Web-based educational systems. Many approaches have been proposed, but hardly any have resulted in generic and practically applied systems. There are many problems that have remained unresolved, for example: • • • • • •
Extracting from experts and representing pedagogical knowledge in a form suitable to guide instructional planning Deciding the level of granularity and appropriate pedagogical annotation of learning materials (objects) to allow for their reuse and retrieval; ensuring interoperability with different repositories of learning objects Balancing the pedagogical advantages of planning entire courses versus dynamically planning only the next step to ensure close adaptation to the individual student Allowing different degrees of involvement of the instructor and the learner in the planning process, rather than just “take it (the plan) or leave it” The limitation of having to focus on presenting single concepts imposed by the separation of content planning from presentation planning Ensuring smooth transition
