Entre-pass: Personalising u-learning with Intelligent Agents

Delivering learning materials anytime, anywhere is the goal underpinning the ubiquitous learning (u-learning) paradigm. Personalising u-learning courseware delivers a unique learning experience to each individual user. Personalisation of learning-content delivery requires certain system attributes; namely system adaptivity, intelligence, user profiling and awareness of user context. In this paper we describe the entre-pass system which is an example of this new class of adaptive ulearning system. Entre-pass is designed to deliver preliminary entrepreneurial training to individuals working within small and micro-industries. Courseware personalisation and trainee assessment is achieved using a suite of collaborative intelligent agents. Course materials are adjusted automatically for display on a myriad of devices ranging from the de facto desktop PC to PDAs and Smart Phones. Finally, the results of initial pilot testing of the system are presented.
