Kinshuk is Associate Dean of Faculty of Science and Technology and Full Professor in the School of Computing and Information Systems at Athabasca University, Canada. He also holds the NSERC/CNRL/Xerox/McGraw Hill Industrial Research Chair for Adaptivity and Personalization in Informatics. He is founding chair of IEEE Technical Committee on Learning Technologies, and founding editor of the Journal of Educational Technology and Society and the Smart Learning Environments journal.
"Kinshuk takes the complex subjects of personalization and adaptive learning and makes them accessible to students of learning and educational technology. In so doing, he also introduces the reader to some of the dominant themes in the field over the last decade, from reusable learning objects to cognitive load theory to personal profiling. This book is a valuable starting point for any reader studying contemporary educational technology."--Stephen Downes, Program Leader in Learning and Performance Support Systems at the National Research Council Canada"The technologies of adaptivity and personalization have the potential to change learning environments and to provide students with individual supports fitting their unique characteristics. This book will help readers understand the general concepts, theoretical and practical applications, and future trends of adaptive and personalized learning environments."--Ronghuai Huang, Professor and Co-Director at the Smart Learning Institute of Beijing Normal University, China
