Abstract


Teachers who teach courses in blended learning using LMS have difficulties keeping track of all students due to their lack of knowledge about students’ cognitive characteristics. This article proposes a way of identifying cognitive profiles of students, based on a detailed analysis of the activities proposed and performed in an AVA referring to a course taught in the blended learning for undergraduate majors of different areas of knowledge. This classification, resulting from the proposed cognitive modeling, will be implemented through students’ clustering during their interaction in the course.
Keywords: cognitive profiles, blended learning, virtual learning environment, cognitive modeling, student clustering
