DYNAMIC COURSEWARE GENERATION ON THE WWW

We have developed a tool for the authoring of adaptive CAL courses, ca lled ''Dynamic Courseware Generator'' (DCG). It generates an individua l course according to the learner's goals and previous knowledge, and dynamically adapts the course according to the learner's success in ac quiring knowledge, The DCG runs on a WWW server, The learner receives from this server an individualised course targeted to a specified goal , Afterwards, s/he is adaptively guided by the course through a space of teaching materials on the WWW. Unlike other CAL courses on the WWW, a course produced by the DCG is interactive, it tests the learner's k nowledge and dynamically adapts to the student's progress. The authori ng tool can be used also for collaborative authoring and learning.
