Technological approach to development of adaptive e-learning system

Abstract

Adaptation of learning process for students with regard to their individual characteristics has currently become topical. The article proposes a technological approach to development of adaptive e-learning system, principles of its elaboration and description its structure and components. The scientific novelty of the study consists in structuring the educational content as a hierarchy of terms, original methods and algorithms of adapting learning material, and the learning outcomes assessment model which provides for the assessment of the level of subject competence development. The structure of the system which includes the educational content model, the user model, the adaptation model, and the learning outcomes assessment model is presented in the article. The proposed approach to development the educational content model is based on the integration and development of the methods of logical-andgnoseological concept analysis with graph theory methods. The adaptive elearning course of a mathematical discipline is developed and implemented into educational process. System of web-based teaching includes a set of organizational and pedagogical conditions contributing for student to acquire knowledge and experience, to develop the skills which result in developing competence required for his or her professional activities. Materials of this study are of interest for both teachers who develop electronic educational courses and managers of educational institutions interested in implementing such courses into educational process
