Abstract

This study explores approaches of implementing adaptation with the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) as well as the technological knowledge and skills that designers develop through the creation of personalised lessons in LAMS. Postgraduate students used LAMS to design and personalise courses. To determine the ways in which adaptation was implemented, we conducted a comparative analysis among the personalised courses. To explore the technological knowledge that designers develop through course personalisation, we used specific criteria inspired by the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework (TPACK). Concluding, all participants enriched personalised courses and elaborated on various adaptation design issues.
