Developing an Adaptive E-Learning Tool with Real-Time Profile Updates Leveraging Generative AI and Explainable AI for Competency-Based Education

Abstract

This project aims to develop an AI-driven adaptive e-learning tool for Competency Stackable Module (CSM) learners, who often vary in motivation and learning pace. The tool features dynamic learner profiling, real-time adaptation, and generative AI to personalize content and adjust difficulty based on individual progress. It supports self-directed learning by offering immediate feedback and actionable insights, reducing reliance on tutor interaction. Explainable AI is integrated to enhance transparency, helping learners understand and trust recommendations. Aligned with SIT's applied learning pedagogy, the tool aims to improve engagement, learning outcomes, and support competency-based education.
