Collaborative Learning Platform Using Learning Optimized Algorithms

Analyzing the MathE Platform Through Clustering Algorithms

“…In its current stage, the platform is organized into three main sections: Student's Assessment (composed of multiple-choice questions divided into topics, with two difficulty levels (basic and advanced), which were previously defined by a professor member of the platform); MathE Library (composed of valuable and diversified materials related to the topics and subtopics covered by the platform, such as videos, lessons, exercises, training tests and other formats); and Community of Practice (provides a virtual place where teachers and students have the opportunity to interact in order to fulfill their common goals, thus consolidating a strong network community). More details about each section are described in [2,3], and can also be found in the Platform Website (mathe.pixel-online.org). 1.…”

“…E-learning offers a range of particularities such as stimulating the development of dialogue and group work [4], strengthening interprofessional relationships among learners [10], promoting collaboration between the participants themselves, allowing the achievement of joint goals in the development of different tasks [13], making synchronous and asynchronous communication easier [22], and allowing learning from anywhere where there is an available internet connection [24]. E-learning also encourages the acquisition of digital competences by the students [11], allowing the adjustment to their personal rhythm [14], increasing their interest and motivation towards learning, as they are able to adapt to their specific learning style [1], giving everyone an unlimited number of learning resources [21]; E-learning also facilitates the monitoring of student activity by the teacher [2].…”
