Description of  Adapting Interactive Learning Environments to Student Competences: The Case for Complex Dynamic Systems (SpringerBriefs in Educational Communications and Technology)

This monograph focuses on the design of personalized and adaptive online interactive learning environment (OILE) to enhance students learning in and about complex dynamic systems (CDS). Numerous studies show that students experience difficulties when learning in and about CDS. The difficulties are due to challenges originating from a) the structural complexity of CDS, (b) the production of dynamic behavior from the underlying systems structure, and (c) methods, techniques and tools employed in the analysis of such systems. Despite the fact that studies have uncovered such learning challenges, it is still not well understood how we may effectively address these challenges. In this monograph, the authors provide some answers as to how we may best improve our cognitive capabilities to meet these challenges by way of effective instructional methods, techniques, and tools and their implementation in the form of an OILE.
