Paper Abstract:
|
Adaptable learning is one of the didactic challenges of the new methodologies related both to distance learning and
collaborative environments. In this paper we present a methodology for the personalization of the didactic material as
respect to the audience type. First, , the author disseminates a number of assessment tests in order to define a uniform
didactic proposal ; in this way, the student takes awareness of its better type and degree of learning . This allows the
construction and the adjustment of the production of the didactic material to disseminate. The preliminary tests delineate
three types of users: auditory, visual and kinetic. The 3 subclasses allow to build and manage the distance lesson and the
construction of the didactic aids. The same materials are used by the students through collaborative environments, built
for supporting distance learning activities. Eventually, the students themselves furnish, at the end of the course and in
anonymous form, the impressions and the suggestions for the improvement of the didactic resources. The
experimentation has been conducted at the virtual laboratory of the Department of Informatica e Sistemistica (DIS) of the
University of Naples Federico II (Italy), involving hundred students during the last three years. |
