Adaptive training system for IT-companies personnel: design principals, architectural models and implementation technology

Abstract

Investigated problems and not resolved issues related to corporate training for IT-companies personnel, explored the actuality and goal of creating adaptive training and learning systems to improve the quality and speed of competence growth of IT-companies’ personnel. Reviewed learning and training systems structures and main differences. Reviewed existing top learning and training systems and selected two of them – Explore Gate and Forma LMS – to be basically tested to explore the common requirements, functionality and not resolved issues. Investigated frameworks for IT competences and skills, exactly e-CF (European e-Competence Framework) and SFIA (Skills Framework for the Information Age). These frameworks are proposed to be used in training system for IT companies’ personnel. Reviewed architectures and models that can be used for adaptive learning and training systems. Proposed ontology of adaptive training system for IT-companies personnel and algorithm to create the training track for employee according to the selected competence, current level of knowledge and skills, aim level of competence and preferences.Исследованы проблемы, связанные с корпоративным обучением персонала IT-компаний, изучены актуальность и цель создания адаптивных систем тренингов. Рассмотрены существующие системы для анализа основных функциональных возможностей. Исследованы способы определения компетенции и навыков, в частности, e-CF и SFIA. Рассмотрены архитектуры и модели, которые могут быть использованы для систем тренингов. Предложена онтология и алгоритм создания тренинга.
