Abstract

Confidence Based Learning (CBL) is a state-of-the art method of Teaching and Learning System (TLS), where the customized content is delivered to a typical learner based on his lacunas in terms of knowledge level as well as the level of confidence in that knowledge. This system is of immense importance in imparting training to the workforce where the performance of the personnel is dependent to human live and properties and in case of deviation in the performance it may lead to a catastrophic event. The CBL based system mainly consists of three phases namely diagnose, prescribe and learning. The system prior to delivery of any content identifies the lacunas in terms of knowledge and level of confidence. Once the gaps in knowledge and confidence level are identified, a customized prescription of learning plan is provided to an individual learner. The learner learns using the customized content and takes the assessment for obtaining mastery. However, in context to this, there is a lack of an enhance and comprehensive framework for CBL based system, which will provide a blueprint for development of applications related to this new TLS. The authors in this research have identified the voids and propose a comprehensive framework which is compared to the existing available solutions which shows considerable improvement with respect to methodology and practical implications.
