Adaptive confidence-oriented self-assessment in an IMS LD Unit of Learning

This document presents an adaptive unit of learning, called "The Dangerous Knowledge Tour", which cumulates two novelties. On the one hand, the adaptive processes were modelled with the IMS-LD authoring tool Recourse at level B. On the other hand, it provides the first example of an adaptive sequencing based on a combination of cognitive and metacognitive formative tests. From a technical viewpoint (IMS-LD for adaptation) and from an instructional viewpoint (combination of learning and metalearning factors in assessment), the Dangerous Knowledge Tour (Verpoorten & Glahn, 2010) provides an up-and-running instantiation of a next generation assessment. However, the instructional design efforts highlighted shortages and drawbacks regarding IMS LD and QTI specifications.
