INTELLIGENT TUTORING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR PROFILING DETERMINISTIC WEB-BASED SCHOLARS

Summary

Web-based learning is an important paradigm for supporting flexible, constructive and innovative teaching and learning in a matured learning environment. It is important to demonstrate the prospective impacts of this technology in formal teaching as well as self-paced learning and assessments. As such, there is need for systems that can address concerns in web-based learning in such a manner as to imitate real life situations so as to deliver the values needed in the educational sector. This presentation is aimed at promoting a system that can encourage learners and teachers to work collaboratively towards the education reform by empowering teachers’ e-pedagogy competence and facilitating collaborative education at all levels. Architecture for Such Intelligent web based pedagogical system is subsequently discussed.

Research problem
