Applications

The paper describes an innovative approach to implement, on existing LMS platforms, e-learning functionalities based on artifi cial intelligence (AI). The paper illustrates the characteristics of a Learning Management System (LMS) in which it is possible to activate such an action, the KM contribution and the architecture and the role of AI. Besides, there will be identifi ed those dispositifs that take part in the design (authoring tools), in the knowledge building and in the monitoring in order to support the project team work and the activities of the Learning Entities1 (LE). The innovative aspect consists in the architecture and the functionality of AI that don’t aim at replacing the teacher/tutor but at supporting him/her in the designing phase, in the monitoring and the redesigning of advanced paths which lead to a conscious learning and to knowledge building activities. Besides the presented model is not subject-oriented and can be used in different disciplinary fi elds. 1 The term “learning entity ” defines either a single student or a work group
