Adaptive book: teaching and learning environment for programming education

In this paper, the authors presented another yet approach to a content-delivery mechanism for designing and teaching programming courses. The approach is based on utilizing the electronic adaptive book that delivers just-in-time interactive learning modules to individual students and thus results in a more efficient teaching process. Initially motivated by merging the process of teaching and learning into one integrated environment, the model presented provides customization (instructor´s view) and personalization (student´s view) of content. This knowledge-transfer environment is assembled using a repository of learning objects. The adaptive book technology allows utilization of any repository of IMS/SCORM compatible content.
