Abstract

This article presents an authoring tool to construct adaptive assessments covering two aspects: the first one is a proposal to adapt to the learning style of the student by defining links to multimedia material that could be presented to the user and the second one is to adapt the questions presented to the student based on the level of difficulty of each item.
