Abstract:
Traditionally, teaching methods generally have the same instructional style for all students. Some students may have different abilities to learn, so it causes inappropriate learning. Online learning requires effective learning to provide appropriate feedback and can be personalised for students to achieve their goals. Personalised learning can provide learners with an appropriate learning path to achieve their learning outcomes. Therefore, this dissertation proposes novel measurement to support personalised online learning. More specifically, the Objective Distance (OD), which measures the distance between the current status of a students competency and satisfaction levels needed to achieve the entire course, is proposed in this dissertation. The different Objective Distances (OD) suggests that there are different learning paths to the different learners. The proposed measurement is evaluated with two types of learning environment, including electronic learning (e-learning) and mobile learning (m-learning). For e-learning environment, the proposed measurement is workable with some existing classifiers such as Artificial Neural Network and K-Nearest Neighbor. For m-learning environment, the proposed measurement can provide an effective personalised support for the learner. Additionally, both environments with proposed personalised method can significantly enhance the learning efficiency of the learners.
