Abstract

In this paper a Personalized Virtual Learning Environment (PVLE) architecture is presented which integrates three components is as follows: (I) the Learning Management System (LMS); (II) the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE); and (III) the Ontological Model (OM). The components were implemented as a solution for Cloud Computing. The fieldwork considered two stages: a proof of concept that is used as a benchmark and test cases where the PVLE were applied. We observed during the performance of stage 1 the average scores for thought styles (logical processes, creative, relational) considerably remain unchanged. While in stage 2, we observed the scores average has increased, with a tendency to improve creative, logical and process styles. Therefore, there is a significant contribution in the development of students’ cognitive profile to personalize its learning activities and the use of PVLE.
