Holistic, Evolving and Multi-viewpoints Learner Model

In this paper, we present our proposal of a learner model for the personalization of learning in distance and on line learning environments. The current researches on semantic referential with ontologies and the semantic web allow us to believe in the importance of the integration of semantic in actor modeling. We propose a learner model that is competency oriented and that integrates the learner ePortfolio. The model needs also to be holistic and evolving. It should reflect the perception of the learner that the different actors of the process may have. We will first describe the model static structure. We then explain the notion and interest of multi-viewpoints in the context of learner modeling. Finally, we discuss the issues related to the model evolution and we explain how our model integrates these notions.
