Generalized Net Model of the Process of Personalization and Usage of an e-Learning Environment

Abstract

As a discrete tool for universal description of adaptable, flexible, structured and reusable models of complex systems, generalized nets have been applied to modeling of various practical aspects of education, like students' testing and assessment, teachers' assessment, management of information and material flows in digital universities, deployment of e-Learning platforms, and others. Here, in continuation of previous authors’ research in this area, generalized nets will be used for development of a model of the process of personalization and adaptive usage of an intelligent learning environment by a trainee or user. In the model, significant role is assigned to the Personal Assistant, which is a component in the context-sensitive educational environment for delivery of e-services and e-learning content.
