A MODELING LEARNER APPROACH IN A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT FOR HUMAN LEARNING BASED ON ONTOLOGY

This work is in the field of technology for computing environment for human learning (CEHL). The inflexible nature of these environments must be adapted to learners and their profiles in order to gain suppleness, adaptation and individualization of learning. So they can be an effective tool for representation and consideration of the learner’s knowledge and skills. This new learning technique imposes new requirements and constraints to establish representations through which learner modeling becomes possible. We present our learner modeling approach built upon an ontology. It is based on an accurate description of learners and their profiles made of their behaviors, knowledge, skills, interactions and designs.
