 Abstract:

Traditional e-learning systems fall short in many respects when it comes to delivering content to learners in the most effective way. Research shows that e-learning systems are not accommodative of learners’ thinking and learning styles, which leads to poor performance. This paper proposes a way through which this problem can be addressed. The researcher believes that the technology of Artificial Intelligence can be integrated with the learning and thinking styles (Psychology) of learners in an e-learning system to provide an enriched learning experience. No attempts have been made so far to integrate Artificial intelligence and Psychology in an e-learning environment, making this paper unique. The paper explores this subject by designing a system that will be termed a “smart e-learning system.” The paper sought to propose Artificial Intelligence algorithms that will be applied to the learning and thinking styles of learners to come up with highly adaptive models for each student that enhances their learning experience. The significant difference in the performance of the control group and experimental group confirms that if psychology and AI are integrated, there is a significant improvement in the student learning experience in an e-learning system. This shows that Artificial Intelligence can work well with Psychology to enhance the learning experience in the e-learning environment.
