Abstract
Current Information Technologies are mature enough to favor the creation of adaptive learning systems that also encourages active, autonomous and persistent learning. A solution could be the creation of artificial intelligence algorithms capable of detecting the individual learning needs and features of the learners, what skills they are acquiring and how they do it, or how they behave, in order to offer them an adapted and personalized learning experience. This is what is defined a smart learning system.
Therefore, in this research we aim to propose an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model for a learning system to achieve this purpose. It is based on a learning model called CALM (Customized Adaptive Learning Model), that offers personalized learning through different learning paths and adapts to each learner by offering a specific activity at any time. The selection of this activity relies on an AI engine that detects the needs and characteristics of the learner and selects the most appropriate activity.
To implement an AI model for this purpose, applying CALM principles, we propose the use of both the information provided by activities and the learner’s characteristics and progression. Combining these datasets with the use of deep learning techniques, we propose a two phases process. First, the model makes predictions that are personalized for each student, and then it applies a concrete instructional strategy to make the final decision, allowing the teacher to adapt and guide the student’s learning.
The development of the AI model that are part of the inference engine have been partially funded by CENID (Centro de Inteligencia Digital) in the framework of the Agreement between the Diputación Provincial de Alicante and the University of Alicante. The adaptive learning platform that supports this project is funded by the AdaptLearn project of the University of Alicante, within the UniDigital action of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan of the Government of Spain.
