Adaptive Learning Paths: Extenstion of Object Conditions – Optional Objects & Validation (Dead End Prevention)

1 Initial Problem

Currently, ILIAS does not offer native core solutions for adaptive learning paths within the learning sequence. Existing approaches using preconditions or external plugins are complex and difficult to maintain. For true adaptivity, more flexible conditions are required that go beyond a purely linear sequence.

2 Conceptual Summary

As part of Phase 1, the "Learning Sequence" component will be supplemented with extended object conditions. The goal is to make path control more dynamic. As a next expansion, optional object and validation will be introduced. Meaning, optional object will be marking objects that do not necessarily have to be processed and thus do not create dead ends in the learning path. As for validation, a learning sequence can only be set online if a starting object is defined and no unintended dead ends exist.
