Technology-based in-home reading and spelling programs have the potential to compensate for the lack of sufficient instructions provided at schools. However, the recent COVID-19 pandemic showed the immaturity of the existing remote teaching solutions. Consequently, many students did not receive the necessary instructions. This paper presents a model for developing intelligent reading and spelling programs. The proposed approach is based on an optimization model that includes artificial neural networks and linear regression to maximize the educational value of the pedagogical content. This model is personalized, tailored to the learning ability level of each user. Regression models were developed for estimating the lexical difficulty in the literacy tasks of auditory and visual lexical decision, word naming, and spelling. For building these regression models, 55 variables were extracted from French lexical databases that were used with the data from lexical mega-studies. Forward stepwise analysis was conducted to identify the top 10 most important variables for each lexical task. The results showed that the accuracy of the models (based on root mean square error) reached 88.13% for auditory lexical decision, 89.79% for visual lexical decision, 80.53% for spelling, and 83.86% for word naming. The analysis of the results showed that word frequency was a key predictor for all the tasks. For spelling, the number of irregular phoneme-graphemes was an important predictor. The auditory word recognition depended heavily on the number of phonemes and homophones, while visual word recognition depended on the number of homographs and syllables. Finally, the word length and the consistency of initial grapheme-phonemes were important for predicting the word-naming reaction times.

“…Establishing a progressive direction in compiling student books is a playful way of meeting students' demands and enhancing education efficiency. The study [15] In 2012 discussed the problem when the learner meets with a vast amount of content through the process of learning while he/she has a fixed time, and for this, he/she may sense disappointed and frustrated. The study proposed a novel procedure to aid learners get learning content more personalized to their characteristics and background in a playful manner; it used the 0/1 knapsack problem to choose the most suitable adaptive learning materials in a limited amount of time specified by the learner.…”

E-learning has been widely adopted as an important tool for distance education, especially in these days of pandemic Covid-19. However, several problems/challenges have been reported in different processes of e-learning that need to be addressed for effective use of e-learning. These problems/challenges include development of student focused contents, giving learner partial control, addressing different learning styles, etc. Recently, several efforts have been made to solve e-learning process problems using dynamic programming techniques. Dynamic programming techniques divide a problem situation into several subproblems and dynamically solves each sub-problem based on student needs. Thus it allows student focused customization at each step and provides adaptive e-learning to support students with different capabilities. The objective of this study is to review different e-learning problems and challenges and how those can be addressed using dynamic programming techniques. We conclude by highlighting the importance of different dynamic programming techniques for different processes of e-learning.
