Abstract

A major drawback of current e-learning systems is that they are too disconnected from learner's learning preferences and learning goals. There has been a high demanding for learner centric e-learning systems. Research on personalized e-learning is emerging in recent years. However, most of the current research is focused on user profile modeling, and learning styles research, etc. In this paper, we propose a novel goal oriented approach towards learner centric and personalized e-Learning. With this approach, learning goals are immersed into the courses or learning objects to bridge the gap between the individual learner's goal and the learning objects. Personalized learning path which satisfies the learner's goals can be generated for individual learners. A prototype system is demonstrated as the proof of concept.
