Design for interactive e-learning based upon multi-agent system: I-MBLS

The multi-agent system is one of the emerging trends being used today and the application of multi-agent systems is spreading in almost every field. It can provide better solutions to very complex and restrictive system. Here in this paper, we propose a new Multi agent based Architecture named I-MBLS (Interactive Multi-Agent Based Learning System) that we have designed for distance learning on the web. This architecture makes use of six different agents named Student Interface Agent (SIA)responsible for monitoring student learning activity, Tutor Interface Agent (TIA)responsible for providing an interactive interface to the tutor, Decision support Intelligent Agent (DSIA)responsible for important decision making, Collaborate agent (CA)responsible for establishing collaboration among students, Test Agent( TA) - responsible for conducting tests, evaluating marks scored and lesson Planning agent (LPA) - responsible for helping tutor for preparing a course content. These agents collaborate with each other and provide an e-learning environment that is interactive, secure and efficient.
