Research Question and Design

• Can the cognitive Theory of Multiple
  Intelligences be used to support adaptation in an
  online learning environment?
• Understanding Goals and User Characterization
• Prototype Framework and Modules
• Formative Evaluation

4
Theory of Multiple Intelligences

• Linguistic
• Logical-
• Mathematical
• Spatial
• Bodily-
• Kinesthetic

• Musical
• Interpersonal
• Intrapersonal
• Naturalist

5
Entry Point Framework

• Narrative introduce through story-telling
• Numerical engage through computation
• Logical deduction to learn new concepts
• Existential/Foundational ask questions
• Aesthetic engage senses through artworks
• Hands-On experiential, manipulation
• Interpersonal cooperative learning

6
Multiple Representations

• Family of representations
• Activate different intelligences
• Present new concepts in multiple ways
• Content presentation activates more than one
  intelligence
• Prototype uses three most developed intelligences

Toward Anyone, Anyhow, Anywhere, Anytime Learning

• Formative Evaluation
• Promising approach
• Limitations authoring issues
• Integrate MI theory, educational methodologies,
  and Web and adaptive hypermedia technologies
