Framework for Personalized eLearning based on Pedagogical Dependencies

Motivated by the need to provide users with more control and influence over their elearning activities composition yet maintain educational integrity, the pedagogical dependency-based approach for the workflow-enabled elearning system is the core of this dissertation. A solution for keeping workflow as a backbone system for delivery and managing elearning activities and still be able to provide flexible personalized composition has been proposed. The solution is based on separating the personalized composition aspect from the workflow-enabled elearning system. In other words, the AFlex-eL is proposed as a hybrid system where a separate generic component handling the personalized composition is integrated to Flex-eL, a workflow-enabled elearning system. The approach is based on the pedagogical dependencies, which are the constraints that govern how the learning activities should be logical sequenced, and how these activities should be selected and logically sequenced to compose elearning activities. A key feature and strength of the approach is to use the power of pedagogical dependencies to ensure educational integrity is preserved, while still being able to provide flexible learning for each individual. Also addressed are a number of related aspects of the framework including pedagogical dependencies modelling, specification, validation, flexible elearning activities composition, and deployment strategies.
