Abstract

E-learning and web-based learning are intended to support learners. It is still difficult, however, for learners to identify and choose study materials that match their current and desired abilities. Some e-learning systems do not provide the information needed to assist learners and avoid these difficulties.This research proposes pedagogically-informed knowledge structures, methods to construct them and design the associated application, a tool for recommending appropriate materials. Experimental studies are conducted to validate the design of the knowledge structures and the effectiveness of the tools. Learners will be expected to gain significantly higher levels of achievement by using the knowledge structures and associated tools proposed in this research.
