Abstract

This paper presents an empirical learning study using a prototype system designed to provide fully automatic, domain-independent conceptual personalization algorithms The prototype system, the Customized Learning Service for Concept Knowledge (CLICK), was implemented as an adaptive essay writing environment in a scientific domain Results demonstrate that conceptual personalization promotes deep metacognitive strategies during online learning, and these strategies correlate with deep domain understanding.
