Abstract :
The Virtual Adaptive Learning Architecture (VALA) project has developed a learning architecture with user interface adaptability that provides a personalized learning environment as well as a repository of reusable learning objects. VALA is designed to be customized easily while allowing for future expansion. Instructors from multiple disciplines can easily find, develop, edit and publish multimedia content in support of their instructional endeavors with VALA. In addition, research questions regarding how the delivery of a learning experience affects learning outcomes can be explored through the system
