Abstract

Bu makale, yükseköğretimde öğrenim deneyimini güçlendirmek amacıyla içerik özelleştirmeyi, işbirlikçi ve sosyal öğrenimi birleştiren ,"Kişiselleştirilmiş Yaygın Öğrenim Platformu" (PULP) adlı yaygın öğrenim (ubiquitous learning - u-Learning) sistemini sunmaktadır. Dublin Ulusal Üniversitesi (University College Dublin, UCD), üniversite içinde öğrencilerine farklı fakültelerden farklı dersler almalarına imkân tanıyan UCD Horizon aracılığıyla, gözetimli öğrenim ortamları (managed learning environments, MLE) sunmaktadır. Bu platformun ana amacı, uyarlanabilir ve işbirlikçi öğrenim ve herhangi bir yerde ve herhangi bir zamanda mobil ve masaüstü istemcilerinde insan-bilgisayar etkileşimi için koşullar sağlayacak ve bunları teşvik edecek mevcut MLE'lerin güçlendirilmiş bir sürümünü sunmaktır. Sistem, öğrencilerle bağlantı kurmak ve devam eden derslerinde içerik materyallerine erişmelerine yardımcı olmak amacıyla etmen odaklı öneri tekniği (agent-oriented recommendation technique) gibi kişiselleştirme tekniklerini kullanarak, yükseköğretim ortamında öğrencilerin öğrenim deneyimini güçlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Personalisation of a U-Learning Environment for Third Level Education

Abstract

This paper presents a ubiquitous learning (u-learning) system, the "Personalised Ubiquitous Learning Platform" (PULP), which integrates content personalisation, collaborative and social learning for the enhancement of the third level education learning experience. University College Dublin (UCD) provides its students with managed learning environments (MLEs) and adaptive learning via UCD Horizon which enables tertiary students to take different courses from different colleges throughout the university. The main objective of this platform is to provide an enhanced version of the current MLEs that will act as a single supported intelligent and personalised ubiquitous learning environment that will promote and make provisions for adaptive and collaborative learning, human computer interaction on mobile and desktop clients anywhere and anytime. The system aims to enhance the students' learning experience in third level educational environment by employing personalisation techniques such as the agent-oriented recommendation technique to engage students and help them access the content material for their on-going studies.

Keywords
