Search results for "personalized learning"

2021

Abstract This paper reports on a teaching innovation using participant-generated drawings. Experienced managers were asked to produce a drawing to illustrate their work from an accounting perspective. The drawings were then used to make the managerial context of the participants the explicit starting point for personalized executive learning. This study is the first in the sphere of accounting education and research to take drawing seriously as a learning method. The results of the experiment show how drawing can be further used as a tool in management education by facilitating the visualization of the managerial contexts participants work within.

Smart Educational Process Based on Personal Learning Capabilities

2017

Personalized learning is increasingly gaining popularity, especially with the development of information technology and modern educational resources for learning. Each person is individual and has different knowledge background, different kind of memory, different learning speed. Teacher can adapt learning course, learning instructions or learning material according to the majority of learners in class, but that means that learning process is not adapted to the personality of each individual learner. That is why it is important to have smart educational process based on personal learning capabilities. This paper presents a literature survey on different learning systems which detects learni…

Context metadata to adapt Ambient Learning Environments

2008

Ambient learning and knowledge environments (ALKE) are a promising concept for new methods of learning and in particular adapted, personalized learning environments. However, currently very few approaches specify concepts for adaptation. We present a metadata approach to identify and (automatically) derive the context of learning environments as a basis for adaptation. The concept has been partially validated in a scenario of ldquoSpontaneous Group Learningrdquo in Higher Education.

On personalized adaptation of learning environments

2017

This work is devoted to the development of personalized training systems. A major problem in learning environments is applying the same approach to all students: i.e., teaching materials, time for their mastering, and a training program that is designed in the same way for everyone. Although, each student is individual, has his own skills, ability to assimilate the material, his preferences and other. Recently, recommendation systems, of which the system of personalized learning is a part, have become widespread in the learning environments. On the one hand, this shift is due to mathematical approaches, such as machine learning and data mining, that are used in such systems while, on the ot…

Relation between adaptive learning actions and profiles of MOOCs users

2016

The overcrowding and the heterogeneity of participants' profiles in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) are some of the main causes for a high dropout rate. International reports and research works points out the personalized learning as an important way to improve learning in any educational context. The information and communication technologies help to address adaptive technics in education through online courses. The specific characteristics of MOOCs point to the need to implement adaptive methodologies in MOOCs to increase the completion rates. This work presents a statistical analysis to find out in what aspects the condition of adaptivity, defined by the construct, is a preference of…

Deep and Meaningful E-Learning with Social Virtual Reality Environments in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review

2021

Deep and meaningful learning (DML) in distant education should be an essential outcome of quality education. In this literature review, we focus on e-learning effectiveness along with the factors and conditions leading to DML when using social virtual reality environments (SVREs) in distance mode higher education (HE). Hence, a systematic literature review was conducted summarizing the findings from thirty-three empirical studies in HE between 2004 (appearance of VR) and 2019 (before coronavirus appearance). We searched for the cognitive, social, and affective aspects of DML in a research framework and studied their weight in SVREs. The findings suggest that the use of SVREs can provide aut…

Validation of indicators for implementing an adaptive platform for MOOCs

2017

Personalization techniques are a classic solution recommended by many experts for improving learning. Information and communication technologies and online courses have helped reduce the difficulties teachers face with a diversity of student profiles and a large number of students in a classroom. When these factors are extreme, like in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), those techniques may be the solution. However, even the most sophisticated technologies have not solved all the challenges posed by personalized learning, and in cases where teachers are not skilled in the technology they must use, the adaptive systems have only complicated the implementation of online courses. Therefore, …

Drawing the premises for personalized learning : illustrations of management and accounting

Systematic literature review of E-learning capabilities to enhance organizational learning

2021

AbstractE-learning systems are receiving ever increasing attention in academia, business and public administration. Major crises, like the pandemic, highlight the tremendous importance of the appropriate development of e-learning systems and its adoption and processes in organizations. Managers and employees who need efficient forms of training and learning flow within organizations do not have to gather in one place at the same time or to travel far away to attend courses. Contemporary affordances of e-learning systems allow users to perform different jobs or tasks for training courses according to their own scheduling, as well as to collaborate and share knowledge and experiences that res…
