Abstract

This paper presents the application of "Bee-gent" mobile agents technology in designing web-based learning environments that provide adaptivity to the students by having two separate student models: Individual student model for each student; and Group student model for generalizing the attributes of a group of students. The combination of two-fold student modelling and mobile agents technology is able to largely exploit the adaptation potentials in web-based learning environment by enabling adaptation at different granularity and in different environments, such as on-line mode, off-line mode or unreliable network connection. The system also has potential to improve support for mobile devices and mobile users.
