Abstract

Learner follow-up in adaptive learning systems requires real-time decision support approaches, using algorithms to predict learner behavior based on the experiences of other learners (learners already classified in groups). We propose an adaptive learning system architecture using the Felder-Silverman learning style model to detect the initial learning profile for each learner in order to provide a learning path based on his profile and the Incremental Dynamic Case Based Reasoning approach based on the exploitation of learning traces in order to follow and to control the behavior of the learner in an automatic and real-time way through the search for similar past experiences using the K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm.
