Template-Driven Assessment Toolkit: A Cloud-Native Architecture for Adaptive Learning

Abstract

This paper discusses the Template Driven Assessment Toolkit (TDAT), a cloud based adaptive learning architecture developed to increase student engagement, performance and to increase instructional efficiency. TDAT supports real time personalization of the assessments and scale of assessments delivery by integrating the microservices, serverless computing and intelligent automation. The evaluations quantify system resilience under load as well as the student learning outcomes and cost effectiveness and demonstrate improvement relation to monolithic systems. Adaptive feedback and risk detection are embedded by the toolkit. Accordingly, this work contributes to providing a useful framework to the creation of large, customised digital learning environments by joining the present disruption in cloud native with novel pedagogy.
