Improving the Effectiveness of e-Learning Processes through Dynamic Programming: A Survey

E-learning has been widely adopted as an important tool for distance education, especially in these days of pandemic Covid-19. However, several problems/challenges have been re-ported in different processes of e-learning that need to be ad-dressed for effective use of e-learning. These problems/challenges include development of student focused contents, giving learner partial control, addressing different learning styles, etc . Recently, several efforts have been made to solve e-learning process problems using dynamic programming techniques. Dynamic pro-gramming techniques divide a problem situation into several sub-problems and dynamically solves each sub-problem based on student needs. Thus it allows student focused customization at each step and provides adaptive e-learning to support students with different capabilities. The objective of this study is to review different e-learning problems and challenges and how those can be addressed using dynamic programming techniques. We conclude by highlighting the importance of different dynamic programming techniques for different processes of e-learning.
