An agent-based personalized E-learning environment: Effort prediction perspective

The various components of by virtue of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT), e-learning becomes an asset in the field of training and education. Among many factors to facilitate the learning process, personalization role to provide the e-learning environments oriented towards learners. Personalization encompasses activities over learning content and learning sequence activities. As a new orientation of personalization this paper proposes an agent based personalized intra circle e-learning environment for interdisciplinary studies. The proposed system brings out another dimension for the personalization in the e-learning environments by providing domain specific content to the learner, especially for the post graduate and dual degree disciplinary courses. Generally the interdisciplinary courses provide their own difficulties to the learner from other discipline of courses. This system fades out the difficulties of these courses in the form of generating domain specific course content based on effort prediction to the learner. The system encompasses two processes for developing the course content and it personalizes the course content in three perspectives such as system´s perspective, learner´s perspective and teacher´s perspective. To be best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt from the different perspective of personalization and of course this will lead a new direction of research in the field of e-learning environment.
