Jornada de Seguimiento de Proyectos, 2010 Programa Nacional de Tecnologías Informáticas ARTEMISA: New techniques for Learner Modelling and Learner Adaptive and Intelligent Instruction TIN2007-67515 Eduardo Guzman * , Mónica Trella ** , Ricardo Conejo *** Universidad de Málaga Abstract This project is part of a long-term research and development effort to build a new generation of resources that support the student in an e-Learning web based environment. The research goals include the definition of new components for automatic assessment, open learner modelling, and adaptive recommendation of learning tasks. The development goals are substantiated in the construction of web based applications and services that can be integrated in a mush up architecture to build an intelligent and domain independent learning management system. Keywords: Learning Management Systems; Intelligent Tutoring Systems; Open Learner models; Automatic Assessment; 1 Project goals The general objective of this project is the research and development of different domain independent and interoperable components that can be used in the construction of a web based intelligent learning management systems. The intelligence is mainly based on a computational representation of learner knowledge and aptitudes (the learner model) and the adaptation of the learning process to ensure that learning really occur. To build up the learner model the system should be able to evaluate the learner actions, and assess their knowledge in a reliable way. Many national and international research groups are working on this objective. Our research is focused on domain independent tools and interoperable resources. The problem arises when trying to generalize the resources and techniques to different domains. In particular, procedural domains in which the student is requested to accomplish a task are quite different from declarative domains. For instance, a classical test can be used to assess the knowledge in a declarative domain, but it fails to cover the wider range of abilities needed in a procedural domain.
