Dynamic Sequencing of Learning Objects Based on Learning Goals

Abstract

People for various reasons need to learn new topics and acquire new skills, but they don't want to attend class or to take full e-learning courses. They search the internet and variety of other sources, to swiftly learn what they need to know. For learners, it is difficult to find and arrange this information for effective learning. Knowledge acquired is often detached, forgotten or not well incorporated into practice. These observations are not unique to the working professionals. Learners in colleges and universities also spend considerable amount of effort in search for information. In all cases, content on the web is often not well organized according to learners learning needs thus learners spend considerable amount of time in unproductive interactions. A more flexible approach to satisfy each learner's learning goal and context is required. This research focuses on dynamic sequencing learning object based on learning goal and learning object prerequisite. A dynamic course curriculum is created for each learner with option to choose learning path suitable for the learner.
