Abstract
In this paper, we suggest methods for the adaptive assessment and training of students. The main idea is to apply the theoretical concept of the neighbourhood of a knowledge state to adaptive training. We also describe improvements of existing assessment algorithms. These ideas are implemented in a multi-platform tutoring system shell. This shell has been applied to two different fields of knowledge.
