Conceptualizing a Framework for Adaptive Exercise Selection with Personality as a Major Learner Characteristic

Abstract

Effective exercise selection based on learner characteristics is important for Intelligent Tutoring Systems to improve learning. Based on a literature review, we categorize learner characteristics used for adaptation in an ITS. We then present a preliminary framework of the relationship between some of these learner characteristics, with an emphasis on personality, and how they can be used by an ITS to adapt exercise selection.
