Abstract:
This search paper comes after a critical and analytical study of a group of research and articles that put an interest on E-Learning, which most of them are focused on computerization and management of educational content at the expense of the educational process. Thus, each system based on this principle gives learners fixed contents and predefined learning paths which do not agree with the requirements of most users.
For this reason, we have proposed directing our research towards the design model for E-Learning that learners can have access to, especially to educational services responsive to their needs and keep pace with their scientific curiosity. This model also keeps pace with their rhythms to learn and satisfy to their private desires.
From this standpoint, we adopted the pedagogy of objectives as a frame of reference for a technological approach. This last took the semantic web, the ontological engineering and the multi-agents systems as a basis to provide our e-learning system reasoning capabilities, which enable it to offer appropriate pedagogical services and create personalized paths betting on the quality of performance and the generation of new rhythms of learning by taking into account the profile of the learner (level of knowledge, preferences, competences, centers of interest, style of learning, etc.).
