Combining intelligent methods for learner modelling in exploratory learning environments
Mihaela Cocea, George D. Magoulas · 2008
Abstract. Most of the existing learning environments work in wellstructured domains by making use of or combining AI techniques in order to create and update a learner model, provide individual and/or collaboration support and perform learner diagnosis. In this paper we present an approach that exploits the synergy of case-base reasoning and soft-computing for learner modelling in an ill-structured domain for exploratory learning. We present the architecture of the learner model, the knowledge formulation in terms of cases and illustrate its application in an exploratory learning environment for mathematical generalisation. 1
