  • Domus tutor: a CBR tutoring agent for student support
    Publication . Alves, Paulo; Amaral, Luís; Pires, José Adriano
    The changes introduced by the Bologna process in the educational paradigm, moving from a lecturer centered paradigm to a learner centered paradigm, involves a more supported learning process based on learning outcomes and the adoption of new pedagogical methodologies. In this paper we present our strategy of integration of tutoring agents in learning environments, using the features of intelligent tutoring systems adapted to collaborative environments. The Domus Tutor agent is the face of the adaptive learning environment that integrates Learning Design, groupware and collaborative work technologies. The adaptation of the system to the learner profile is based on case-based reasoning methodology; witch is one of the major reasoning paradigms in artificial intelligence.
  • Case-based reasoning approach to adaptive web-based educational systems
    Publication . Alves, Paulo; Amaral, Luís; Pires, José Adriano
    Virtual learning environments systems are based on the classroom paradigm, in which the knowledge is transmitted for all the students in the same way. To enhance e-learning, adapting the contents to the needs of each student is essential, and a more personalized learning support is required. The adoption of pedagogical agents and new artificial intelligence methodologies can response to the needs of individual students and provide a more effective collaboration in virtual learning environments. The learning experience of each student can be adapted to others students with the same characteristics. The adaptation of past cases to solve new problems is one of the features of case-based reasoning methodology, which can provide an effective knowledge transmission, based on learning activities. In this paper, we present a case-based reasoning approach to Adaptive Web-based Educational Systems using fuzzy logic to adapt e-learning contents and contexts according to the student learning style and individual needs.
