Personally tailored teaching in WHURLE using conditional transclusion Adam Moore, Tim Brailsford, Craig Stewart University of Nottingham http://whurle.sourceforge.net
Weaknesses of current Technology Based Learning Proprietary format / clients Weak pedagogic models Require technical expertise Static experience
Requirements for an idealised ILE • Pedagogically informed • Adaptive to learner needs • Repurposing of information • Open standards • Usable by IT naïfs - learners and teachers
