Yi Shang, Hongchi Shi, Su‐Shing Chen · 2001
Active learning is an effective learning approach. In this article we present an intelligent agent-assisted environment for active learning to better support the student-centered, self-paced, and highly interactive learning approach. The environment uses the student’s learning-related profile such as learning style and background knowledge in selecting, organizing, and presenting learning material, and it adopts a new approach to course content organization and delivery based on smart instructional components that can be integrated into a wide range of courses. The environment is being implemented using the prevalent Internet, Web, digital library, and multiagent technologies.
