A Prototype for Educational Planning Using Course Constraints to Simulate Student Populations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distance learning universities usually afford their students the flexibility to advance their studies at their own pace. This can lead to a considerable fluctuation of student populations within a program’s courses, possibly affecting the academic viability of a program as well as the related required resources. Providing a method that estimates this population could be of substantial help to university management and academic personnel. We describe how to use course precedence constraints to calculate alternative tuition paths and then use Markov models to estimate future populations. In doing so, we identify key issues of a large scale potential deployment.

We present a service-oriented personalization system, set in an educational framework, based on a semantic annotation of courses, given at a knowledge level (what the course teaches, what is requested to know for attending it in a profitable way).
