Advanced Interactive Learning Environments (Level 11) (P00846)

? Credit Points : 10  ? SCQF Level : 11  ? Acronym : INF-P-AILE

Computer based tools and learning environments are increasingly used in teaching and learning. This course explores how such educational systems can be made more interactive and adaptive, in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of the teaching that they provide. A number of techniques and examples of existing systems will be considered, in addition to the theoretical basis for these. This course aims to better equip students with the skills to design and evaluate intelligent and adaptive educational systems.

This course is identical to the level 10 version except for the assessed coursework and additional learning outcome.
