Abstract
Various embodiments of a system and method for adapting software elements based on application usage are described. The system and method for adapting software elements based on application usage may include a knowledge component configured to determine how a user is using an interview-based application including, but not limited to, the functions of the application that the user has utilized, the content that the user has viewed, the tasks that have been performed, and the assistance that has been requested. The knowledge component may use the application usage to determine a measure of the user's knowledge of topics within an interview-based application in order to create and/or maintain a knowledge profile for the user. The knowledge component may use the user's knowledge profile to determine a knowledge deficiency that prevents the user from completing a task within the interview-based application and modify the application in order to resolve the deficiency.
