Abstract:
The aim of the ongoing research project "Smart Learning in Vocational Training" is to introduce a novel mobile Learning Companion App in order to support a blended-learning approach in the energy consultant training. Thereby, students can keep track of their individual predicted knowledge level on different learning objects at every point in time and get personalized learning recommendations based on the determined learning need value. Moreover, teachers make use of Learning Analytics in order to get an overview of students’ progress and so, be aware of possible weaknesses. This work in progress paper introduces the main ideas of the overall architecture and technical concepts in that project.
