Dynamic Composition of Curriculum for Personalized E-Learning

This paper proposes an approach to dynamically compose an adaptive curriculum for e-learning based on a topic-centered resource space. By exploiting the semantic relationships that characterize learning objects (LOs) and learner profile, the approach dynamically selects, sequences, and links learning resources into a coherent, individualized curriculum to address learners’ focused learning needs. Semantic Web (e.g., XML, RDF/s) is used to represent LOs and their relationships, as well as, to support flexible navigation at semantic level. The system has been deployed and evaluated within an academic setting, enabling learners to organize, access, and share the learning resources in a more effective and personalized manner.
