Multi-layered learner knowledge model for evaluative multi-agent simulation

Abstract

Various kinds of learner support systems have been proposed and employed, and their evaluation, whether it is at a developmental stage or at the employing stage, depends on learners, which is inevitable but which failure must be avoided as much as possible. For that purpose, it is desirable to employ a computer simulation, but the body of relevant knowledge, the model representing learning stages, and learner data are necessary. In this prototypical study, we propose a novel method to employ a multi-layered multi-agent simulation.
