D1.3a “Stand-alone” Adaptive Learning Environment Specification (PDF)

This deliverable describes the architecture of the GRAPPLE stand-alone adaptive learning environment, or GALE for short. GALE has an architecture consisting of adaptation, user modeling and domain modeling components that are built around an event bus with which all communication can take place using SOAP messages. The adaptation process consists of a pipeline of “processors” and “modules” that can be easily extended to add new adaptation functionality. Extensive caching is used to ensure adequate performance (short response times). This deliverable also describes how a large part of GALE can be connected to the GRAPPLE infrastructure to enable the non-stand-alone use of GALE’s adaptation, user modeling and domain modeling components.
