Abstract

Adaptivity in technology enhanced learning has proven to be an effective and efficient approach in education. While simulations are include in the top end of eLearning there has been few if any real attempts to develop adaptive educational simulations. The key problem with their incorporation is their expense, cost and the effort involved in developing them. This ground breaking paper is the first publication to show a unique way for non-technical domain experts to compose and generate adaptive eLearning simulations. In particular it presents ACTSim, an innovative and unique composition tool used to author adaptive soft skill simulations.
