Abstract
The chain of applying adaptivity to Learning Management Systems (LMS) is still deficient; there is a gap between authoring adaptive materials and delivering them in LMS. In this paper, we extend My Online Teacher (MOT), an adaptive authoring system, by adding compatibility with IMS Question & Test Interoperability (QTI) and IMS Content Packaging (CP). Thus, the authors can utilize the authored materials for learning process adaptation on any standards-compatible LMS. From a technical perspective, we initialize the creation of adaptive LMS by converting Common Adaptation Format (CAF), XML representation of MOT database, into IMS QTI and IMS CP, to ensure a wider uptake and use of adaptive learning systems. Finally, this work represents a significant step towards the little explored avenue of adaptive collaborative systems based on extant learning standards and popular LMS.
