Abstract :
"Courseware" may have replaced traditional textbooks as the source of pedagogy in modern classrooms, but the problem of keeping curriculum in sync with changing needs remains. We present one approach to meeting those needs: dynamic curriculum delivery. In this approach, analysis of data from student performance, feedback from teachers, and the ongoing use of expert knowledge from the field keep courseware up to date, relevant, and consistent with the educational goals of the school, teachers, and students, in a variety of educational and cultural contexts.
