A Cognitive Diagnostic Module Based on the Repair Theory for a Personalized User Experience in E-Learning Software

This paper presents a novel cognitive diagnostic module which is incorporated in e-learning software for the tutoring of the markup language HTML. The system is responsible for detecting the learners’ cognitive bugs and delivering personalized guidance. The novelty of this approach is that it is bas...
