Özet

The use of personalised learning environments (PLEs) and adaptive learning environments (ALEs) in education has increased during the COVID-2019 pandemic. Thus, the need of effective and high-quality PLEs and ALEs has emerged but developing such learning environments has some difficulties such as the need for a huge number of qualified e-contents. Generation of e-contents for these systems is a time-consuming and costly process. Moreover, presenting the same e-content for each student is not effective because each student can have different intelligence type. To overcome these problems, low cost, reusable and dynamic e-contents can be used for PLE and ALE systems. For this purpose, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) was used to provide sequenced e-contents for PLE and ALE systems. This proposed system was used in a case study to investigate its impact on learning process. The performance of the proposed study was compared with analytical hierarchy process (AHP), which is another multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, also further statistical analyses were investigated. The results showed that 84.6% of students showed interest in the proposed system, so the FAHP method can be used for presenting personalised e-content effectively.
