Abstract
Recent developments in the field of learning systems have led to adaptive learning which considers learner models when performing pedagogical decisions. Problems emerge in providing knowledge spaces of adaptive learning systems. As a knowledge space consists of pedagogical model, learner model, and adaptation model, teachers need much effort to create it. This paper focuses on the authoring of the knowledge spaces of adaptive learning systems and proposes a collaborative authoring approach for creating pedagogical, learner, and adaptation models. The proposed approach combines asynchronous collaborative work with Notes and History to support implicit coordination and workspace awareness. It applies IMS Learning Design to represent the aforementioned models. To validate it, qualitative and quantitative experiments were conducted. The experiment results indicated the high granularity of authoring, which means that learning designers can efficiently and effectively work in an asynchronous collaborative environment with Notes and History.
