Proactive Dynamic Community of Practice

The main purpose of this Master Thesis was to invent and design Proactive Scenarios
that could help students from the University of Luxembourg to improve their social
experience on the Moodle™ e-learning platform through the automatic perception of who
the user is, where does he/her come from, what are his/her online activities or what do
users have in common, and through constant help, guidance and assistance generated by
the system with the help of Proactivity.
The first part of this work was dedicated to reading, analyzing and comparing stateof-
the-art papers, articles and tools in research fields like Proactivity, Communities of
Practice, Situation/Context Awareness and Learning Management Systems, followed by
the creation and validation of the Proactive Cycle meant to group students, which are inscribed
in the same study program or coming from the same city, into social communities
where the practice can take multiple shapes.
