Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider that how to help instructors re-organize a well-structured teaching material utilizing existing learning objects. To cope with this problem, this study adopts a novel approach - particle swarm optimization (PSO) to achieve this aim. By employing this algorithm, the proposed approach can automatically re-organize a teaching material and meet multiple criteria specified by the instructors. In addition, evaluation results have demonstrated that the proposed approach is applicable that can help most instructors re-organize teaching materials efficiently and effectively.
