Abstract

In this paper we present the continuous empirical evaluation approach, whose goal is to improve the quality of adaptive web-based courses. The adaptive-course description, along with the users' features and interactions with the courses, are analyzed in order to detect concrete possible fails or lacks and to propose specific solutions and actions to be performed to improve these courses. The way it is used to evaluate existing adaptive courses is also presented.
