libadapt - A generic framework to add adaptivity to game-based learning (GBL) applications
Project description
About
libadapt is a generic framework to add adaptivity to game-based learning (GBL) applications.
This library implements the following architecture:
+-----------------------------+
| |
| v
| Measured Variables
| |
| | Value Algorithmical Optimisation
| v /
Player -> Interaction Evaluation <- Adaptation Function <- Reference Progress <- Author
^ | \ |
| | Mean Values from Test Series
| v |
| Adaptation Threshold <---------------------------+
| |
| v
| Evaluation and Decision-making
| |
| | Goal-oriented Changes
| v
| Manipulated Variables
| |
+-----------------------------+
Adaptor.adapt_to() should be called from the main loop of an interactive application with updated measurement to base the adaptation on.
The internal calling order is:
Adaptor.adapt_to()
Adaptor.quantify()
Adaptor.log()
Adaptor.compare()
Adaptor.check_threshold()
Adaptor.intervene()
It is based on an architecture first published in:
Florian Berger. Evaluating an implementation of an adaptive game-based learning architecture. In Proceedings of UMAP 2012, 2012
