e-Learning proposal supported by reasoning based on instances of learning objects

Abstract

In recent years, new research has appeared in the area of education, which has focused on the use of information technology and the Internet to promote online learning, breaking many barriers of traditional education such as space, time, quantity and coverage. However, we have found that these new proposals present problems such as linear access to content, patronized teaching structures, and non-flexible methods in the style of user learning. Therefore, we have proposed the use of an intelligent model of personalized learning management in a virtual simulation environment based on instances of learning objects, using a similarity function through the weighted multidimensional Euclidean distance. The results obtained by the proposed model show an efficiency of 99.5%; which is superior to other models such as Simple Logistic with 98.99% efficiency, Naive Bayes with 97.98% efficiency, Tree J48 with 96.98% efficiency, and Neural Networks with 94.97% efficiency. For this, we have designed and implemented the experimental platform MIGAP (Intelligent Model of Personalized Learning Management), which focuses on the assembly of mastery courses in Newtonian Mechanics. Additionally, the application of this model in other areas of knowledge will allow better identification of the best learning style of each student; with the objective of providing resources, activities and educational services that are flexible to the learning style of each student, improving the quality of current educational services.
