Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods

Learning management systems are used as a support tool in the process of knowledge sharing. Teachers add the material related to the domain of knowledge and also elaborate pedagogical mediation activities for the students. This process, in general, results in a learning environment that presents the same content for all participants, not taking into account the differences that exist between each of them, both in performance and behavior in the environment. The purpose of this work is to show an adaptive, agent-based environment model to enable the teacher to use some tools to create an adaptive class. In this model, resources and activities are made available to the participants in an individualized and adaptive way according to a previous configuration made by the teacher on the learning environment. The system was developed using Moodle to be used as a test bed case study and a basic calculus course was created to perform a practical evaluation test of the proposed model with real students as participants.
