Design and Implementation of Access Mechanism and Data Mining for a Personalized Education System

This project is under the integrated
project “An Adaptive Networked
Educational System: toward Ubiquituous
Personalized Learning,” and aims at using
the WWW as an interface to provide access
mechanism and data mining for a
personalized networked education system.
The system is composed by both
asynchronous and synchorous distance
education subsystems. Our primary goal
includes (1) eatablishing an efficient Web
access mechanism, (2) providing proper
personalized education systems, and (3)
studying multimedia data synchronization.
More specifically, we first devise techniques
to allow users to efficiently access data from
a networked education system through the
Web interface. Next, we develop and
implement data mining algorithms to capture
the user behavior. Finally, we shall utilize the
related technologies to enhance the
efficiency of multimedia communication as
well as to increase user friendiness by
allowing more interactive functions. In view
of the increasing importance of Internet,
network education systems are expected to
become popular rapidly, and we believe this
project should deliver very timely results
which are of both theoretical and practical
importance.
