Development of Intelligent Multi-agents System for Collaborative e-learning Support

The aim of this paper is the introduction of intelligence in e-learning collaborative system. In such system, the tutor plays an important role to facilitate collaboration between users and boost less active among them to get more involved for good pedagogical action. However, the problem lies in the large number of platform users, and the tutor tasks become difficult if not impossible. Therefore, we used fuzzy logic technics in order to solve this problem by automating tutor tasks and creating an artificial agent. This agent is elaborate in basing on the learners activities, especially the assessment of their collaborative behaviors. After the implementation of intelligent collaborative system by using Moodle platform, we have tested it. The reader will discover our approach and relevant results

Toward an Effective Model for Evaluating Distance Education

Distance education has become popular due to their ability to provide learning from almost anywhere and anytime. COVID-19 forced educational institutions to urgently introduce distance education to ensure pedagogical continuity, so all stakeholders were invited to adapt to this new paradigm. In order to identify strengths and weaknesses, the research focuses on the need to create an effective mechanism for evaluating distance education. The aims of this research were to explore and evaluate the use of digital media in general and official platforms in particular in distance education practices. To this end, we have developed and validated a questionnaire before administering it to a sample of 431 teachers in Morocco. Teachers reported lower knowledge and skills in the didactic use of ICT in the distance education process. In addition, although age and educative experience of the teachers continue to modulate the level of instrumental skills. Therefore, resources (digital resources and infrastructure) and the teachers’ ICT training present serious limitations, which require a training more focused on the distance educational paradigm and educational environments that allow teachers to create educational activities able to promote and facilitate the distance learning process

Online Competency‐Based Assessment (OCBA): From Conceptual Model to Operational Authoring System

Online learning has been growing continuously in the last decade, accelerated by the pandemic Coronavirus, in order to offer learners new possibilities for learning and to guarantee pedagogical continuity. But some aspects, including the learning assessment, are still in development and require profound changes to meet the demands of the 21st century. However, by taking advantage of artificial intelligence techniques and new learning theories, it would be possible to create an assessment system in accordance with the active learning approach. This paper illustrates the models, algorithms and design used to create a formative and summative assessment system that will be mobilized to evaluate learner’s knowledge, skills and competencies

A Combined E-Learning Course Recommender System

In this paper, we propose learners course recommender system of the E-Dirassa platform. This system, which distinguishes between new and active learners, adopts three complementary recommendation approaches: content-based recommendation as well as course-based collaborative filtering for active learners, and static profile-based collaborative filtering for new learners. Let us also note the use of multi-criteria decision aid (MDA) techniques for the choice of the textual similarity measure to be used in the first approach of content-based recommendation
