| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We propose a successful learning environment based on motivation and learning strategies of students. The environment provides an institute-dependent solution to overcome difficulties using portfolios of past learners. During the course, there would be students who get behind the class. The formative assessment is conducted to distinguish them from others for teaching staff to take care. Motivation and learning strategies of a student show his or her learning status. There are various learning statuses in the students. The method uses a persona to characterize the learning status of a group of students. Personas are determined by conducting contextual inquiry on past students. The method uses the non-negative matrix factorization to decompose the learning behavior matrix into the learning status matrix. The learning behavior is collected automatically with a Web system to support learning.
