IVUL Model: An Intelligent Learning Development Process

Abstract

The purposes of this research study are to develop an intelligent virtual universal learning (IVUL) model and to evaluate its appropriateness. The study consisted of two phases. Phase 1 involved the development of the IVUL model for univer-sal learning. The conceptual frameworks and theories in the documents and re-search studies on universal design for learning, intelligent learning and virtual learning were studied by the researchers. All main components were then synthe-sised to design the IVUL model. This process can be divided into three main steps: engagement, representation, and action and expression. Each step has sub-steps: access, build and internalise. However, the details of these are dependent on the main steps. The second component is the intelligent learning process, an important process of the model that drives learners to automatically learn by themselves. Artificial intelligence is used as a crucial component that promotes and supports each learner to meet learning goals and objectives according to the universal learning model. The third component is the virtual learning process, which results in learning through computer environments and the Internet. Phase 2 involved an evaluation of the appropriateness of the IVUL model, with in-depth interviews with 20 experts in education and digital technologies. The appropriate-ness of the model was evaluated using the 5-point Likert scale. The findings show that the designed IVUL model can be used for learning development at the highest level.

Artificial Intelligence Chatbot Platform: AI Chatbot Platform for Educational Recommendations in Higher Education

“…This is because such applications are compatible with various screen displays and responsive web designs, which enables users to access information anywhere and anytime. In addition, this is also in line with the research of Chaiyarak et al [18], who said that the design of new and contemporary models in combination with AI technology and virtual learning technology in the form of online environments, can pave ways for the development of new learning platforms that are believed to promote more engagement in active learning, and which also help develop learners' skills anywhere and anytime.…”
