Learner Modelling in a Multi-Agent System through Web Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes how a multi-agent, intelligent learning environment can provide adaptive tutoring based on learner modelling through Web Services. The system is called Web F-SMILE and is meant to help novice users learn how to manipulate the file store of their personal computer. The system has assigned an agent, called Learner Modelling (LM) Agent, to constantly observe the user and collect information about him/her. This information is used by other agents in order to provide individualised help and tutoring. The LM Agent interacts with a Learner Modelling Server through Web Services. In this way, each learner model is available to any client application that requests it. The main advantage of this approach is that the application does not have to initialise the learner model every time the user changes the PC s/he uses. Moreover, Web Services allow information to pass through most security systems and thus the reliability of the learner model information is ensured.

متن کاملOne for All and All in One A learner modelling server in a multi-agent platform
For the past few years several research teams have been developing intelligent learning environments (ILE) based on multi-agent architectures. For such type of architectures to be possible, the agents must have specific roles in the architecture and must be able to communicate in between them. To handle such needs, we have established a generic multi-agent architecture the Pedagogical Agents Co...
متن کاملPurpose Based Learner Modelling
This paper presents a brief review of early learner modelling in Intelligent Tutoring Systems focusing particularly on procedural knowledge representations vs. declarative knowledge representations. It then tracks the paradigm shift from traditional learner modelling, which emphasises knowledge representation, to distributed learner modelling, which focuses on the modelling process. Learner mod...
متن کاملA multimodal dialogue interface for flexible tutoring systems
This paper presents an environment for the design and implementation of an Intelligent Tutoring System based on a multimodal dialogue interface and user modelling. The system exploits existing web-based on-line courses and superimposes a rhetorical structure as the underlying model for the course content. In addition, the learner profile is based on the notion of stereotypical ascription, while...
متن کاملA Goal Oriented e-Learning Agent System
This paper illustrates a goal oriented approach to model agent mediated e-learning system. Most of the traditional e-learning systems are not learner-centric, and they often ignore the diversity of learner population; thus very often their service is not able to directly or effectively match the learners goal. From the learners point of view, we propose a goal oriented approach to develop an ...
