WEB-BASED APPLICATION OF CALCULUS DISTANCE LEARNING USING AN ADAPTIVE LEARNING APPROACH

Abstract

In this digital era, distance learning has become a trend in the world of education. It can be seen from the number of e-learning platforms such as Coursera, Udemy, and edX and is also supported by the many open learning resources, both written such as Wikipedia and blogs, as well as in the form of videos on YouTube. One of the challenges of e-learning is how to achieve optimal learning outcomes or even better than traditional learning models. With the varying the speed of student understanding, Adaptive Learning (AL) can be an alternative e-learning model that can personalize the methods and habits of each student. The adaptive learning model is a model in which the process and progress of student learning are adjusted to each student's competence and learning speed so that it has high learning effectiveness. In this paper, we present a web-based application based on the design of an adaptive learning model applied to calculus learning through an online platform by developing the structure and flow of calculus materials and assessment procedures that will be applied to the platform. This study aims to develop a web-based application by identify calculus materials and design a model and structure of AL Calculus, including the assessment process to measure student learning achievement. The learning flow can allow students to choose the modules they will study according to their level of competence in each material but still apply the minimum standards that must be achieved before proceeding to the next level. The result is an adaptive and comprehensive calculus learning application consisting of ten modules with five levels that must be studied.
