✦ Synopsis
In this article, we describe a Web-based approach that defines training needs for object-oriented developers by identifying the strong and the weak areas of their knowledge. Our system is based on the use of two tools, Guide d'Auto-Apprentissage, Self-Learning Guide (GAA) and User Knowledge Assessment Technology (UKAT) developed at the Computer Research Institute of Montreal. UKAT uses a state-of-the-art user knowledge assessment method to create a user profile of the proficiency in a subject domain. GAA is a Web-based training system that uses the UKAT to personalize a training course to facilitate self-learning. As an exemplar, we are using a Java development environment.
