Descripción

Nowadays modern society requires that every citizen always updates and improves her/his knowledge and skills necessary to working and researching. E-learning or distance learning gives everyone a chance to study at anytime and anywhere with full support of computer technology and network. Adaptive learning, a variant of e-learning, aims to satisfy the demand of personalization in learning. Learners’ information and characteristics such as knowledge, goal, experience, interest, and background are the most important to adaptive system. These characteristics are organized in a structure called learner model (or user model) and the system or computer software that builds up and manipulates learner model is called user modeling system or learner modeling system. In this book, I propose a learner model that consists of three essential kinds of information about learners such as knowledge, learning style and learning history. Such three characteristics form a triangle and so this learner model is called Triangular Learner Model (TLM).
