Concept-based and Fuzzy Adaptive E-learning

Abstract

This study aims to test an effective adaptive e-learning system that uses a coloured concept map to show the learner's knowledge level for each concept in the topic. A fuzzy logic system is used to evaluate the learner's knowledge level for each concept in the domain and produce a ranked concept list of learning materials to address weaknesses in the learner's understanding. This system will obtain information on a learner's understanding of concepts by an initial pre-test before the system is used for learning and a post-test after using the learning system. A fuzzy logic system is used to produce a weighted concept map during the learning process. The aim of this research is to prove that such a proposed novel adapted e-learning system will enhance a learner's performance and understanding. In addition, this research aims to increase participants' overall learning level and effectiveness by providing a coloured concept map of understanding followed by a ranked concepts list of learning materials.
