Abstract
The extension of e-learning is unavoidable but the ways in which this is done differ. One new way is focused on changing the working relationship, more specifically, the teacher-learner relationship. The purpose of this paper is to detail technical elements and principles of a cybernetic training (CyTr) system that was developed and installed by the authors at www.cybertrainer.online and it is based on a method of learning by adaptive networking using a cybernetic trainer. The method assumes that students build problems that directly relate with their lack of knowledge regarding the topic. The built problems are further solved by students. The method continues with a ranking stage of problems opportunity, and a solutions usability stage. The stages are coordinated by a software that actively connects all the group students. The software monitors the learning activity, manages the database and evaluates automatically the students. The whole ensemble of CyTr brings a series of advantages to the school and to the learning activity, including a reduction of at least 40% on teacher’s activity.
