Abstract

We show in this position paper how we designed Proactive Scenarios for an automatic and enhanced management of the online assignments on MoodleTM for both student and teacher users, through their implementation with Proactive Rules to be run on top of our prototype Proactive Engine developed for this LMS. According to the diversity of issues that arise from the users activity on LMS, Proactive Scenarios are of two main types, which differ in their main goals, features and complexity. Meta Scenarios are devoted to capture major events of interest and to trigger off the dedicated Target Scenarios, which will undertake the appropriate actions. These Proactive Scenarios will thus take care of specifically predefined situations such as notifications, reminders, problem prevention, user guiding etc. In our opinion, LMS supplemented by such capabilities could provide a boosted effect on the students’ learning process as it takes an individual approach for each user and therefore could be characterized as a type of intelligent tutoring system. However, in order to sustain or modify the direction of our research activity, we now consider to undertake empirical studies on real-life online courses using the Enhanced E-learning Platform, which runs our Proactive Scenarios.
