Abstract

This demo paper presents SCARLETT, a Smart Learning Environment designed to track the evolution of learners across formal and informal contexts in order to provide personal support to learners. SCARLETT benefits from a variety of Technology Enhanced Learning systems and tools for collecting information about the students actions across physical and virtual spaces and, based on it, deploying and recommending personalized resources and activities to be performed in the students’ current formal or informal context. To provide such support, the learning design plays a key role in how SCARLETT works, as it helps to coordinate the data collection, to model and characterize learners, and to deploy the resulting personalized resources and activities.
