Assistive tool for constructing knowledge structures and suggesting related Study Materials links
Education and Information Technologies, 2019Co-Authors: Athitaya Nitchot, Wiphada Wettayaprasit, Lester GilbertAbstract:This research proposes a Web-based system for constructing knowledge structures and suggesting Study Materials links. Within Web-based learning, it is still difficult for learners to identify and choose Study Materials that match their current and desired abilities. In addition, learners may fail to recognize missing prerequisite learning, and may fail to identify the knowledge they seek. Most e-learning systems do not provide the information needed to assist learners and avoid these difficulties. We propose pedagogically-informed knowledge structures and associated applications, including a tool for designing and building such structures, a tool for navigating the structures for particular purposes (e.g., identifying knowledge missing from learners’ existing knowledge), and a tool for recommending appropriate Materials. In this research the knowledge structures are derived from the subject matter within a targeted knowledge domain using task analysis. In this paper, a method of constructing a knowledge structure is proposed. An experimental Study investigated users’ design and use of a knowledge structure. Learners will be expected to gain significantly higher levels of achievement by using the knowledge structures and associated tools proposed in this research, and educational communities will be able to share the knowledge structures and use the tools to support learners.

Study Materials and Knowledge Structure Management using MyTeLeMap
2019 Joint International Conference on Digital Arts Media and Technology with ECTI Northern Section Conference on Electrical Electronics Computer and , 2019Co-Authors: Athitaya Nitchot, Wiphada Wettayaprasit, Lester GilbertAbstract:This research describes a tool for managing lesson knowledge structures for Web-based and on-line learning, allowing experts and teachers to attach Study material links at each structure component. Experimental studies are planned to evaluate the design of the knowledge structures and the effectiveness of the tools in terms of learning achievement. The students are expected to receive significantly higher levels of success by relying on the knowledge structures and introduced tools in this work rather than using the general learning management system.

Constructing a Competence Structure in Recommending Study Materials Links
2013Co-Authors: Klong Neung, Lester Gilbert, Klong Luang, Gary WillsAbstract:Existing structures of knowledge and competencies within eLearning systems may involve the risk of misunderstanding and do not consider a proficiency level. We describe the method of constructing a competence structure from learning outcomes. This method involves the task analysis of subject matters and the parent-child relationship assigning. In addition to this, a competence-based system for recommending Study Materials is proposed. The competence structure is considered within the process of dealing with learner competences and how the system generates the choices of learning paths in suggesting Study Materials links. Experiments were conducted to compare the generated learning paths. The results show that learners may have felt more satisfied in achieving their desired learning outcomes when more competence nodes are consideredwithin a learning path. However, an appropriate learning path may vary according to the size of the competence structure and the chosen competences.

Competence Web-based System for Suggesting Study Materials Links: Approach & Experimental Design
2012Co-Authors: Athitaya Nitchot, Lester Gilbert, Gary WillsAbstract:Web-based education is used for enhancing learning and teaching activities by allowing the learner to have more opportunities for exploration. However, most e-learning and web-based educational systems could incur the problem of high development costs and the need to have the Study Materials well constructed. If the content or any information of knowledge changes, then the system is required to be updated. The aim of this paper is to propose an approach to designing a system, so that a learner can find appropriate Study Materials on the Web without any interaction from the teacher. The system generates different learning paths from the learner’s competence. This process uses a competence structure, to identify a range and relationship of competence elements/nodes for a particular knowledge domain. By embedding a structure of competence in our system, it allows many learners to learn from the same knowledge domain without requiring the knowledge content to be updated. The system uses the learner’s competences to generate different learning paths and from the chosen learning path, it is produced appropriate keywords to be used by a search engine in order to suggest appropriate Study Materials from the Web. We have designed an experimental Study to test whether a learning mode provided by our system is better than a learning mode by freely browsing. More improvement in learning of participants is expected to be seen in the competence-based learning mode. The paper explores what this means for students and teachers and suggests some further work.

Designing XML Schema of a Competence Structure from Course Intended Learning Outcomes
Computers and Advanced Technology in Education, 2011Co-Authors: Athitaya Nitchot, Lester Gilbert, Gary WillsAbstract:In a traditional classroom the intended learning outcomes have been formed according to the scope of the learning and teaching aims and also based on the structure of course program. It indicates what the learners will learn and the knowledge they will obtain at the end of the course of Study. Over the past few years the trend towards a Web-based instructional system has been introduced to the learning and teaching environment. Currently there are many learning Materials which are found on the Web. However, this can make it difficult for learners to choose the right Study Materials which would match with what learners have already learnt and what they would like to know. In this research we consider a learner competence which indicates the differing level of intended learning outcomes depending upon the context of the learners‟ performance. We propose a competence-based system for recommending Study Materials from the Web based on the learner‟s competences. The design of system is considered from a competence structure and we map it into a form of XML schema. By considering the schema, the system can be modifiable and reusable for other knowledge domains. Hence the system not only identifies the learner‟s competence and suggests Study material links from the Web but also the developer can design the competence structure and import it into the system for the future use.

A Competence Model to Design Assessment Questions for Self-Study
2010Co-Authors: Athitaya Nitchot, Lester Gilbert, Gary WillsAbstract:The value of a learning assessment is presumably enhanced by an effective e-learning system and the delivery of appropriate Study Materials which support learners’ intended learning outcomes. Some e-learning systems are based on Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) and traditional User Modelling, but have a problem with their lack of support for learners’ intended learning outcomes. The paper introduces a competence-based system for learners to retrieve recommended Study Materials from the Web, solving this existing problem in AH systems. Also, the system can provide assessment based upon the learners’ chosen competences

ICALT - Towards a Competence Based System for Recommending Study Materials (CBSR)
2010 10th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2010Co-Authors: Athitaya Nitchot, Lester Gilbert, Gary WillsAbstract:Most e-learning systems require intervention from a teacher. The development of adaptive hypermedia systems, such as intelligent tutoring systems, aimed to reduce the teachers’ task. However, such systems are still at risk of inconsistently modelling the user when estimating a learner’s knowledge level. We propose a system called CBSR (Competence based System for Recommending Study Materials) which recommends appropriate Study Materials from the Web without requiring teacher intervention, based upon a competency model. This has the benefit of an improved pedagogical approach to e-learning, and a more consistent profile of learners’ competences which can persist though their life
