Abstract
The quality of education is an important objective
for governments and organizations around the world, as
education has the potential to open new opportunities for
people, improve their lives, and make them a productive and
useful member of society. One of the ways to improve education
is through the use of technology, and by making sure children
have access to knowledge and information. In this paper, we will
describe a distributed e-learning system based on item response
theory, which can intelligently offer students appropriate
questions and tasks to solve, and adapt the difficulty of the
presented test items based on the students’ previous answers
and activity. Similarly, after each test item, the system presents
the user with a solution to the problem, and the theory behind
it. Our data and survey scores show positive results, and outline
that students find the system engaging and want to continue to
use it in the future.
