Description
---------------------------
A French e-learning editor aims to develop an intelligent linguistic e-learning platform accessible by Internet or Intranet. This interactive platform will reproduce all the best practices of a private class, using an artificial intelligence engine for creating a virtual teacher. The solution should adapt itself in real time to the evolution of the learner’s needs and competences.
Nowadays, studies show that e-learning solutions dedicated to languages training for professional and private users have registered a really high rate of people giving up (around 80%). Most of existing software on the market is static and limited to its own contents.
This project will respond to the market’s needs through the development of a dynamic process based on new technology. This technology will provide a system of follow-up of progresses and needs, improve the attention of the learner and consequently, raise the rate of success of e-learning.
The requested partner should help the French company to develop a global platform including all the motivation aspects of the learner, in short and long term, as wells as affective sides. Specifically on the affective motivation aspect, the French SME needs to co-operate with a company editing game software (networks or training game), in order to develop a system based on game mechanism, improving the interest and the attention of the learner. For the real-time solution, this SME also needs to collaborate with a company specialised in linguistic engines developed for translation and/or grammatical research.
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
- Game computers
- Artificial intelligence
- Automatic translation
- Linguistic software
- Development made in Java 1.4 (J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) environment)
- Web interface realised in JSP (Java Server Pages)
- Integration with JBoss™ application (Struts™ framework)
