Abstract:
This paper presents an agent-based approach to supporting
e-Iearning. In contrast with other work, we facilitate
learning of learners by providing them with a set of
services that are useful to construct knowledge. The
autonomy of learners in learning is sufficiently supported
and meanwhile the supportive services implemented by
software agents assist them to get through a learning
process. In this 'paper, the features of e-Iearning are first
briefly reviewed and then the challenges for supporting elearning
- are analyzed. An agent-based approach to
supporting e-learning is proposed. Then, the development
of the VOL (units of learning) database is explored. After
that, the preliminary implementation of the services is
reported.
