Abstract

Today with the technology development, the learning activity takes some different methods and approaches. Among these approaches, we can talk about virtual learning using the learning management systems and the flipped classroom concept. Moodle platform represents one of these systems. The limitation of this Platform is the lack of an integrated adaptive mechanism to manage the students’ learning process. In this paper, we present a model that can be combined with the Moodle platform to provide students with an adapted content according to their knowledge level and skills. Also, offer the instructors the ability to manage the learning mechanism of their students in the context of flipped learning. The model was validated by the implementation of the Smart Adaptive Management for Flipped Learning (SAM-FL) plugin. The proposed model is based on several hierarchical agents allowing modularity in the development of course content and tests’ thresholds. The evaluation of the model was carried out objectively by comparing learner output levels against entry levels, and subjectively by performing a quality of experience with the learners. The obtained results showed the model effectiveness in terms of learners’ improvement levels and acceptance of our solution towards them.
