An adaptive learning agent integrated in a collaborative portal for advanced training in the biomedical field

Academic communities need a collaborative portal to provide new distance learning opportunities and to improve personal training opportunities. An innovative portal must integrate an adaptive engine to assist learners individually, meeting them at their skill and knowledge levels. More than 300 biomedical students were enrolled to carry out the assessment of the new developed platform, which integrates a prototype adaptive engine based on Bayesian inference. Students who completed the web-based module left positive feedback and good overall satisfaction.
