Design for Active Monitor System in Distance Learning Environments

The execution of course program and timetables in distance learning systems is more strict in military school, it imposes necessity for teachers to guarantee the progress of students according with a set of course program by monitoring the studentspsila behaviors and giving the alert when the predefined schedules are violated in such an e-learning situation. An active monitor system is designed to improve the adherence to course programs for distance learning. Based on the tracking system responsible for collecting the attendance records on-line, the system acts as a global monitor detecting the learning activities of a student and reacts to the events mismatching with the course programs in order to control the learning evolution. The key part of the agent is a constraint-based self-adaptive scheduling module which is used to dynamically adjust the current course schedules according to the evolution of its execution. Finally the warning messages are translated into semantically meaningful sentences through causal information analysis.
