Abstract
We introduce a novel three stepwise model of adaptive e-learning using multiple learner characteristics. We design a model of a learner attributes enlisting the study domain, summary details of the student and the requirements of the student. We include the theories of learning style to categorize and identify specific individuals so as to improve their experience on the online learning platform and apply it in the model. The affective state extraction model which extracts learner emotions from text inputs during the platform interactions. We finally pass the system extracted information the adaptivity domain which uses the off-policy Q-learning model free algorithm (Jang et al., 2019) to structure the learning path into tutorials, lectures and workshops depending on predefined constraints of learning. Simulated results show better adaptivity incases of multiple characteristics as opposed to single learner characteristics. Further research to include more than three characteristics as in this research.
