Agent-oriented e-learning process modeling

Students learn through a series of systemic and innovative learning activities instead of only learning resources. However, most e-Learning systems nowadays are resources-oriented instead of processoriented. In addition, existing systems are designed without adequate pedagogical principles and provide little capabilities to cater for different student's individual needs. This paper investigates the possibility of applying process-oriented approach to design, enact, control, and refine the e-Learning processes. Furthermore, agent technology is applied to deal with dynamic situations. A processoriented and agent-based e-Learning environment is developed, with case scenario to demonstrate the usability of the approach.
