Learner modeling still the object of very active research in the technology-enhanced learning system. It makes it possible to represent a complete description of the learner. In this paper, we have proposed a new learner modeling approach which is independent on the learning system and dependent on the learning context. The proposed model involved four information categories: Personal data describing the general information about the learner; Cognitive data representing the learner performances and knowledge; Activity data providing details about learner activities during the learning process. Finally, contextual data presenting a description about learner context such as location, device, accessibility, connectivity, etc. To ensure a better representation of these characteristics, we have proposed an ontology-based learner model in order to benefit of advantages gained from the use of ontological technology, like extensibility, usability, exchanging information, inferring new knowledge by reasoning on an existing one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
