Abstract:

In the electronic learning (e-learning) system, assessment is an integral part which helps to identify a learners’ knowledge as well as the deficiency for a particular domain. In an asynchronous mode of e-learning, an effective assessment model has required to diagnosis a deficiency of a particular area and provides study materials related to those deficiency areas. In this research paper, authors propose a new framework for e-learning system which incorporates a traditionally used learning model known as Antecedent Behavior Consequences (ABC) learning model. The authors proposed a framework to map the ABC Learning Model in conventional e-learning system and identify the deficiencies of learners’ weak-point from related areas and provide corresponding learning object metadata (LOM). A standard set of items/questions are implemented by the subject expert and assessment is implemented. The system identifies the deficiency of a learner on the related topic. This deficiency is mapped to the related metadata. The system may be suited for ubiquitous computing using mobile devices like smartphone and tablet.
