Dynamic User Interface Based on Cognitive Approach in Web Based Learning
With bandwidth increasing at a constant pace, technology in
education has become an important part for delivery of
educational content to students. Online learning in various forms
is gaining popularity but lacks the adaptability required to hold
the learners attention due to its rigid structure. Though animation
and powerful graphics enhance the learning content, delivery of
content according to learners need is yet to become a reality. It is
not possible to build a learning system that can satisfy every
learner as some people respond best when they see basic facts on
a clean page, others when they have a lot of charts and graphs at
their fingertips. To overcome these shortcomings the content
delivery itself can be made dynamic based on the learner's need.
In this paper we propose a novel method to identify a user's need
based on the cognitive behavior of the user. Based on the
response of the user, an decision tree induction algorithm is used
to predict the requirements of future users.
Keywords: User interface design, Cognitive approach, online learning, and decision tree induction
