%T Student modeling for learning of object-oriented programming in e-learning environment

%X E-Learning  environment  offers  some  interesting  benefits  over  traditional  learning 
environments.  Students?  learning  in  e-learning  environment  can  be  independent  of 
distance,  time, computing platform and classroom size. E-Learning also provides diversity 
and  completeness  of  knowledge.  In  an  e-learning  environment,  students  learn  by  going 
through  learning materials  provided  through  a web-based  learning management  system. 
However, most of  the  learning management systems are nothing more  than a network of 
statically linked hypertext pages. To better support the learning activities of a large number 
of students with different learning styles, and diverse background and learning goals, there 
is a need  for a more adaptive and  intelligence  learning management system. To achieve 
this  objective,  this  system  must  be  able  to  provide  a  more  personalised  approach  for 
learners.  This  is  particularly  important  in  the  learning  of  programming,  since  different 
learner  would  normally  face  with  different  problem.  The  most  important  component  for 
developing  a more  adaptive  and  intelligent  learning management  system  is  the  students 
model.   The purpose of  this paper  is  to  investigate and  then  to propose a students model 
for learning of object-oriented programming in an e-learning environment. The development 
of  this  model  is  based  on  our  experience  in  handling  courses  on  object-oriented 
programming at Open University Malaysia (OUM) over more than four years. (Authors' abstract)
