The objectives that the project aims to achieve are manifold: to support authors in the production of high-quality educational material with great educational potential, including its high degree of reusability in various contexts; to assist teachers with tools that allow both the immediate use of educational material produced by multiple authors and the production of original material specific to the needs of a given educational context; to provide learners with a powerful educational tool capable of supporting them in their educational journey, both in the learning phase and in the verification phase; to offer all the stakeholders involved tools (dashboards) capable of analyzing and enhancing both the educational material used and the learning path. Therefore, the project aimed to develop a platform capable of supporting authors, teachers, and learners in the implementation and enjoyment of educational paths in which the content not only allows profiling of the different users but also is able to adapt to the profile of the specific learner, thereby implementing a platform to support adaptive learning.
The project arises from the need to find an answer to the requirement, common to both teachers and learners, of having educational content capable of satisfying one or more of the following needs: to be adaptable to the needs of as broad a community of users as possible; to be easily modifiable to produce new educational content and enrich increasingly extensive educational repositories; to allow for extensive and immediate use in the most diverse contexts possible; to support the development of new learning methods based not on the proposition of predefined content, in terms of type and access chronology, but on the delivery of content capable of dynamically adapting to the needs and automatically detected profile of the learner. To achieve the above objective, it is necessary to intervene on several fronts and make use of different technologies/methodologies: structuring educational content in a defined way; making careful use of inference/AI techniques; supporting the authoring of content and its consumption through user interfaces that are immediately usable and understandable.
