An evaluation of Adaptive Learning Management System Case Study: an information system’s component

Abstract

The objectives of this research are : to develop and to study the efficiency of the adaptive learning management system based on a web application. Students were classified into three levels; high level, middle level, and low level. These students were evaluated their performance before and after studying with the system based on an item response theory (IRT), rating ability and Bayesian updating technique. This system helps teachers to prepare a suitable lesson plan for each students by using adaptive hypermedia and an appropriate test by using test parameters for making adaptive testing. For a preliminary evaluation, we used questionnaires for examining validity and satisfaction. We found that there was statistically significant difference between the student’s performance before and after studying the system at .05. The students’ performance of after studying with the system was higher than of before studying. For usability evaluation, the system was satisfiedby teachers in best level. (X = 4.68, S.D. = 0.47)
