Learning Management System Using Multi-Agent Technology: A Proposed Implementation Strategy

Conventional Learning Management System (LMS) lacks automation in the coordination and management of student activities and courses management. This paper presents a conceptual model that applies software agent technology to overcome some of the weaknesses of existing LMSs. The paper discusses the use of software agent technology for assisting instructors to monitor learners’ activities and managing their profiles. The agent analyzes learners’ profiles and recommends the instructors of each learner’s level of interaction with the LMS. These interaction levels serve as indicators for the instructors to gauge the commitment of their students in studying and submitting assignments through the LMS.
