Towards Optimizing Learning Paths in a System e-Learning Adaptive Application of Ant Algorithm (Aco)
Samir Allach, Mohammad Essaaidi, Mohamed Ben Ahmed · viXra · 2012
Adaptive E-learning, refers to a training concept in which technology is introduced step by step in all aspects of the business of training. A technique, inspired by the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), is proposed to optimize the learning path. The proposed platform is modeled by a graph where nodes represent the educational elements (lessons or exercises), and arcs link navigation between them. Each of the arcs is also a value that describes its importance in relation to teaching neighboring arcs. Students are represented by virtual agents (ants) who use these links.
