scope:

This standard defines and classifies the components and functionality of adaptive instructional systems (AISs) for individuals. This standard defines categories used to describe AISs and establishes requirements and guidance for the use and measurement of these parameters. A conceptual model is composed of multiple concepts (ideas) and is used to represent a system and is also used to help AIS practitioners to understand or simulate a domain of knowledge that the model represents. The scope of this standard is limited to the adaptive instruction of individual learners. Adaptive instruction for teams will be addressed in a future standard.

Purpose

This purpose of this standard is to enable producers of AISs to describe the overall operation of an AIS; to specify its approach, method, and level of adaptation; and to identify the methods used to implement specific components and interfaces. This standard enables consumers of AISs to make comparisons to inform purchasing and deployment decisions and serves as a reference for technical standards that support the exchange of data among AISs and between AISs and other education and training systems. This standard incorporates and promotes the principles of ethically aligned design for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in AIS.
