Abstract

An adaptive tutoring system is presented based on hierarchical graphs that capture the sequencing of a set of learning objects depending on how students interact with them. The use of hierarchy allows the definition of complex transition structures over arbitrarily large sets of objects. Using this approach a tutoring tool has been designed and tested in the context of an introductory course in Computer Architecture. Experimental results clearly show the positive impact of the proposed content adaptation over how students learn concepts.
