iCLASS: Intelligent distributed cognitive-based open learning system for schools

Share this project

The iClass project developed an intelligent cognitive-based open learning system and environment, adapted to individual learners' needs.

The components of the iCLASS system are:

•    an advanced learning system, based on an ontology-based architecture for sequencing of knowledge and adaptive to learners' level of understanding and learning style
•    a distributed, collaborative environment accessible to all stakeholders (parents, teachers, students, Ministries, publishers), offering rich multimedia content and services, and facilitating direct communication.

iCLASS aimed to contribute to a paradigm shift, turning ICT from a merely a tool providing access to learning resources, to the key element of a new pedagogical approach capable of adapting teaching and learning processes to the profile of individual learners.

The resultant system and services allow for:

•    A new pedagogical approach capable of adapting teaching and learning processes to the profile of individual learners;
•    Personalisation according to different cultural characteristics and learning styles;
•    A prescriptive-diagnostic system, where the system not only presents personalised content to learners but also identifies the problem areas  encountered during the learning process and reports on these areas to the relevant parties.
•    A more generalised and widespread access to learning resources;

The main target groups are all professionals in education (teachers, school administrators, educational authorities), students, parents and education partners (content developers, publishers and providers of educational services).
