Promotion of Personalized Learning Paths (PLPs) in India's K–12 Education System through Strategic Mechanisms

Abstract

The main focus of a personalised learning environment (PLP) is to understand and adapt to the learners’ needs. Learners have different individual needs, goals, and preferences that affect their learning process. Similarly, different learners have different characteristics regarding the learner’s background knowledge, learner's history, competency level, learning style, and learning activities. This work proposes an adaptive learning path system for the Indian K–12 education system, which suggests a learning path—an ordered set of cognitively connected learning materials according to the learning need. In this research, ontology is proposed to store knowledge about learners and learning resources due to its dynamic nature and knowledge-sharing capability across the domain.
