Abstract
This paper introduces a new learning control method – ‘value-added mode’. This mode is based on counting credits for only new knowledge learned whereas ‘old’ knowledge is taken into account with low weight. The need for such mode appears when background of students starting a course is very varying. This situation becomes more and more frequent, because of globalization, personal study tracks etc. In this paper we describe how this mode is implemented and also describe an application Build-Your-Course.
