ALOSI - Adaptive Learning Open Source Initiative

Welcome to the ALOSI wiki!

About

Adaptive learning aims to provide more personalized experiences that lead to higher levels of engagement and learning gains. We see a need for more evidence and transparency on the factors that make adaptive learning effective, and systems to facilitate adaptive learning implementation and research.

The ALOSI framework facilitates adaptive learning implementation and research, and is composed of four types of components:

Component Role Example platform
LMS Learning Management System edX, Canvas, or any LTI consumer
Content Source Content hosting Open edX or any LTI provider
Engine Provides recommendations ALOSI Engine
Bridge Integration with LMS, data coordination, collection authoring Bridge for Adaptivity

The Bridge for Adaptivity facilitates interfacing with multiple types of external components:

  • Multiple engines: comparison between more types of algorithmic strategies and systems.
  • Multiple LMS: use in multiple types of learning management systems
  • Multiple content sources: Use of heterogeneous types of content to construct adaptive sequences
