Conceptual framework for collaborative educational resources adaptation in virtual learning environments

Abstract

Frequently, the existing resources in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), used in distance education courses and blended, are presented in the same way for all students. This may complicate the effective learning process of each student. In order to solve this problem, the approach adopted in this paper is based on a framework called ArCARE, which allows adaptation of resources for students in VLEs, allowing the construction of his knowledge, using multi-agent system technology that handles open learner model ontology. These ArCARE resources are recommendation and adaptation of collaborative activities such as pedagogical architectures for the students have a more effective learning of particular course content. Results obtained in a Computational Thinking course show the feasibility of the proposal.
