Mining Student Learning Behavior and Self-assessment for Adaptive Learning Management System

  • Conference paper
Engineering Applications of Neural Networks (EANN 2013)

Abstract

The specific contribution aims to provide a web-based adaptive Learning Management System (LMS), named EVMATHEIA, which integrates specific innovative fundamental aspects of Student Learning Style and Intelligent Self-Assessment Mechanisms. More specifically the proposed adaptive system encapsulates an integrated student model that facilitates the decision about the learning style of the student monitoring his/her behavior. Furthermore, the platform utilizes semantic modeling techniques for the representation of the knowledge, semantically annotated educational material and an intelligent mechanism for the self-assessment and recommendation process.
