Intelligent Dynamic Grouping for Collaborative Activities in Learning Management System

In a sustainable education environment, Learning is fixed everyone and learning time may vary with individual capability. To provide additional learning space, Learning Management System (LMS) is a perfect solution. All kind of learners can make use of the additional learning space and attain the objectives of the content. Learning Management System is an integral component of the e-Learning design and development, and to manage the learning process. LMS would provide pre-defined templates for development as well as to deploy e-content, integrate multimedia content such as audio, video, images, graphics and animat ion, organi se assessments, evaluation procedures and analyze the learner style by including the learning analytics. Most of the Learning Management Systems offer convenient tools that allow to create custom courses and thus implement educational, teaching, training and management processes in an organization. Today learners are more towards active and team-oriented learning. LMS would improve a ctive and collaborative learning by providing varieties of activities and group projects. While giving the group assignments and projects to the learners, an effective and dynamic grouping mechanism need to be integrated. Based on the group size, the group should consist of mixed kind of learners to learn from group activity and to lead a group activity. The formation of the group must be dynamic for every activity. The groups should be dynamic in nature and every learner of the course must have active learning with each other in the same course. To prepare an intelligent grouping mechanism, a framework was developed and deployed in the MOODLE LMS. This intelligent dynamic grouping mechanism improve the overall learning activities in the LMS environment.
