Comparing LMS and AEHS: Challenges for Improvement with Exploitation of Data Mining

Abstract

E-learning systems can be divided in two categories according to the personalization level they offer. LMS and AEHS are representative systems of the above categories. LMS have more capabilities than AEHS but, on the other hand, AEHS consider student's differences and offer personalized learning to achieve better results. Our research findings led us to embed adaptivity techniques in Moodle, with adoption of a hybrid dynamic user model, which is built with techniques that are based both upon knowledge and behaviour of learner.

A Multi-Trait Dynamic User Model for Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems (AEHS)

“…Felder and Silverman's learning styles have been used in refs. [42][43][44][45] and [23]. David Kolb's model was used to define the adaptation rules for adapting the learning content and the navigation [46].…”
