Student model based on flexible fuzzy inference

In this paper we present a design of a student model based on generic fuzzy inference design. The membership functions and the rules of the fuzzy inference can be fine-tuned by the teacher during the learning process (run time) to suit the pedagogical needs, creating a more flexible environment. The design is used to represent the learner’s performance. In order to test the human computer interaction of the system, a prototype of the system was developed with limited teaching materials. The interaction with the first prototype of the system demonstrated the effectiveness of the decision making using fuzzy inference.
