Paper Abstract:
|
There are a number of universities that are offering elearning or web-based learning either to support distant learners or
as a course's supplementary where it is a common practice that educational content i.e. course is designed specifically for
elearning or web-base learning. In many situations, this often results in educational content of traditional classrooms and
of elearning/web-based learning to be managed and maintain separately. Such practice can be quite a resources
consuming process. Furthermore, it is often difficult to provide personalized learning based on such practice.
Considering substantial number of courses already available and the demand for personalized learning, an approach that
allows these courses to be easily utilized for personalized learning in elearning environment, and also allow such content
to be managed from a single source of material would be very useful. However, given theirs complex relationships, we
have observed that this is not a trivial task. In this paper, we investigate an concept-driven learning goal approach that
allow these courses to be suitable organized for personalized learning functionality and can be managed from a single
sources of material. In turn, this approach would also allow Flex-eL to support broader range of learners. We also
propose adaptive constraints that can be used to further manage personalized learning activities. |
