CAREER: Personalized Access to Open Corpus Educational Resources through Adaptive Navigation Support and Adaptive Visualization

学生可利用的教育资源数量正在迅速增加。在各种各样的学科领域，教育资源现在可以在教育数字图书馆的Webband上获得。丰富的资源创造了提供个性化教育资源访问的需求，即，帮助学生寻找，组织和使用符合他们个人目标，兴趣和当前知识的资源。本项目通过开发和探索一系列创新技术来满足这一需求，这些技术包括自适应导航支持和自适应可视化技术，这些技术提供了更高水平的交互性和表达能力，不仅考虑了用户的兴趣，而且考虑了他们当前的知识和目标。为了将这项研究的结果整合到教育中，我们正在开发一个系统，该系统使用最有前途的技术，为匹兹堡大学本科编程课程的学生提供对大量多样化开放语料库资源的个性化访问。该系统作为正在开发的技术的主要评估平台。通过关注个性化的教育资源访问，该项目提供了短期和长期的更广泛的影响。该系统开发的过程中，thisproject最大限度地提高教育机会，为每个学生在几个大的，编程相关的本科课程在匹兹堡大学。我们的个性化信息访问技术通过出版物和项目网站广泛传播，帮助成千上万的学生利用网络和数字的教育力量。Libraries.http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~taler/pacer.html

The volume of educational resources available to students is rapidly increasing. In awide variety of subject domains, educational resources are now available on the Weband in educational Digital Libraries. The abundance of resources has created the needto provide personalized access to educational resources, i.e., to help students find,organize, and use resources that match their individual goals, interests, and currentknowledge. This project answers that need by developing and exploring a broad rangeof innovative techniques for personalized access to open corpus educational resources.Among these techniques are adaptive navigation support and adaptive visualizationtechniques, which offer a higher level of interactivity and expressive power and take intoaccount not only the users' interests, but also their current knowledge and goals. Tointegrate the results of this research into education, we are developing a system thatuses the most promising techniques to provide students in undergraduate programmingcourses at the University of Pittsburgh with personalized access to a large volume ofdiverse open corpus resources. This system serves as a major evaluation platform forthe techniques being developed.By focusing on personalized access to educational resources, the project providesshort-term and long-term broader impacts. The system developed in the course of thisproject maximizes educational opportunities for every student in several large,programming-related undergraduate courses at the University of Pittsburgh. Widelydisseminated through publications and the project's web site, our personalizedinformation access techniques help thousands of students to harness the educationalpower of the Web and Digital Libraries.http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~taler/pacer.html
