Mathematical Modelling of Building Individual Educational Trajectory for Studying MOOCs

Distant learning has weaknesses related to missing tutor and kind of auto didacticism of the process, which may cause learner's frustration in uncertain situations and force him or her to drop the learning course. Inasmuch as it is very important to help learner to select a set of needed courses, the article deals with the task of forming the optimal individual educational trajectory of a learner when studying massive open online courses on the basis of knowledge and skills of the learner, knowledge and skills he or she wants to acquire and prerequisite and postrequisite skills and knowledge of available courses. The mathematical model is proposed, and problems of integer programming are formulated, which allow to find the optimal individual educational trajectory for different preferences of the learner.
Keywords: e-learning, mathematical modeling, integer programming, individual educational trajectory, optimization
