Introduction

• Right Content

for right person
at right time

• Concept Map represent knowledge in graphs

• the assessment an diagnosis of learning effect
• the analysis of the learning path
• representation of knowledge
• aggregation course units (for courseware
  management system)

Definition of the course unit

• Three levels sub-node, node, Chapter

Attributes (1) Contents (2) References (3)
Examples (4) Tests (5) Evaluated parameters
(6) Front course units (7) Rear course units

Construction (sub-node)

• collect sub-nodes

7
Construction (node) 1/3

• Difficulty and time of the node

• Relations between course unit

8
Construction (node) 2/3

• Relation between units

A
B
I
J

• After topologic scheduling

9
Construction (node) 3/3

• The difficulty and time on learning of sub-node

• Time on learning and difficulty of a learning
  process
• Learning time the sum of time on learning
  (all front sub-nodes)
• Average difficulty the average of difficulty
  (all front sub-nodes)
• Absolute difficulty the maximum one of
  difficulty (all front sub-nodes)

Integration of different learning paths 1/4
i. Compute the confidence values of teachers by
using the closeness index
C(i) I(i) / U(i) I(i) C U(i) B, C,
D C(i) 1/3
Closeness index C(H1, H2) (1/N) ? C(i)

Integration of different learning paths 2/4

• ii. Integration of course sequence
• The weighted values of new units (links) for
  each course sequence are zero.
• The weighted values of original units (links)
  for each course sequence are the confidence value
  of teacher.
• Accumulate the weighted value for each unit
  (link). If the sum of weighted value is larger
  then 0.5, the connected units (link) are kept.

iii. The establish of the node unit Suppose a
chapter is divide into 26 sub-nodes (A to Z) and
the relation between units are given.
Select sub-nodes to form a node

Conclusion

• provides a new algorithm in designing a
  courseware management system for e-learning
  curriculum developers.
