Critique
"FSLSM seems to be most appropriate for the use in educational systems"
* There seems to be little support for this. There is some discussion about how other models have fewer categories, but that is all.
"When a student encounters a new learning environment, the learning environment can directly use the CTM of the particular student from a Universal Resource Locator (URL) in the Internet or portable storage media of the student. The learning environment does not need to reconstruct a model of that student."
* the assumes much. That the CTM is portable, that other learning systems have a compatible student model.
