Abstract

Several initiatives concerning the learner model has been proposed in the context of technology-enhanced learning systems. In fact, there are two main challenges encountered in this regard: Firstly, which information will serve to represent and reflect better the learner? Secondly, which formalism chooses for representing and managing the learner model? To overcome those challenges, we propose a new ontological approach for learner modeling enriched from the existing models.
