Smap: To Generate the Personalized Learning Paths for Different Learning Style Learners

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 6249))

Abstract

Web based intelligent learning systems are coming out as one the most important research issue in the e-learning area. However, two main cognitive problems are confronted by the intelligent learning systems which are caused by the self-controlled mechanism. To solve this problem, learning path is proposed by many systems, however, learners’ learning characteristics, such as their learning styles are still omitted by the most learning systems. This paper proposed an intelligent learning system called Smap, whose learning objects are organized in a 3-dimensioned semantic map. The final goal of Smap is to provide learners with their personalized learning path according to their different learning styles.
