Abstract

Personalized education in an ICT enabled environment is a contemporary matter today. The adaptation of education to diverse types of student is becoming a big challenge. Proposing personalized learning in the digital era, we obtained a new dimension called an agent based adaptive learning. This has led to adopt knowledge management practices that provide innovation in knowledge clustering for active learning. In the ICT enabled learning, the learners are geographically scattered. Agent-Oriented System simulates the teaching-learning pedagogy by sensing the environment, listing several traits, observing the user behavior, finding pattern and learning pace of the learner. This leads towards imparting intelligence to an agent that helps both learner and the tutor to build a smart teaching-learning environment. This paper proposes an agent which works as a middleware which uses semi supervised learning mechanism with both forward and backward chaining for the inference to impart intelligence in learning environment.
