ALMANAC for Schools

ALMANAC is a multimodal adaptive learning framework designed to provide learners with an engaging and intuitive learning experience incorporating a rich blend of multimedia including textual content, images, videos and animations.

ALMANAC provides the learner with access to tailored learning experiences that are dynamically generated based on the learners immediate learning needs. The aim of ALMANAC is to generate learning experiences that engage the learner and encourage them to explore topics while at the same time having the information they need at their fingertips when they need it.

The learner can control their own learning experience through simple controls enabling them to tailor the learning experiences generated by ALMANAC to meet their own learning needs. The complexity and length of learning experiences generated by ALMANAC can be controlled by the learner to ensure that the learning experience provides the appropriate level of educational support to the learner while fitting into the time available to the learner.

This learner driven adaptive behaviour allows ALMANAC to tailor the learning experience to the learners needs without the requirement to implicitly model the learners prior knowledge of a subject domain, which would be extremely difficult in a point of need context. The optional adaptation controls also remove the need to explicitly request information from the learner about their prior knowledge. It also empowers the learner to take control of their own learning and to practice their metacognitive skills.
