Development of an intelligent learning resource using computer simulation about optical communications
Paper Abstract
In recent years there have been some proposals to develop educational tools using multimedia and interactive resources, however, most of them just transpose the traditional materials to the computer screen. The reason for this work is the gap of didactic materials to explore important subjects about photonics and optical communication systems, specially the lack of tools related to Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) learning. The aim of this research is to provide at the LCMS MOODLE open platform an Intelligent Learning Resource to support EDFA study, providing a set of Learning Objects more suitable for the study of the base concepts needed to optimize the use of the computer simulation tool. The learning resource developed can stimulate the students to understand how amplifiers are designed for a practical application, and the parameters that should be considered in a project. The Artificial Intelligence techniques used for the development of the learning resource consider the learner differences in a way to adapt the system actions according to each student background.
