Teaching and Learning confined to within the four walls of a classroom or even online Learning through Massive Online Courses (MOOCs) and other Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) are no longer seen as the optimal approach for competency and skills development, especially for working professionals. Each of these busy learners have their own training needs and prior knowledge. Adopting the one-size-fits-all teaching approach is definitely not effective, motivating and encouraging. For some learners, the content might be too easy and for others, it might be too difficult. This is why this research presents the use of SMART Learning Environment that makes use of Intelligent Techniques to personalise the learning materials for each learner. This mismatch in skills is becoming a pressing issue and is having a direct impact on the ICT Sector, which is one of the pillars of the Mauritian Economy. This research, therefore, besides proposing a novel approach to learning, also attempts to address an issue of national importance. Data was collected during three phases, namely an Expert Reference Group Discussion, a pre-test questionnaire and a survey questionnaire. The Expert Reference Group Discussion was carried out to further understand the training needs and expectations of Cybersecurity professionals in Mauritius. A SMART Learning Environment making use of Artificial Neural Networks and Backpropagation Algorithm to personalise learning materials was eventually designed and implemented. The major findings of this research were that personalisation of learning materials through the use of a SMART Learning Environment can be used to address the training needs of Cybersecurity professionals in Mauritius.

为提高毛里求斯的网络安全专业人员的技能而设计和实施的SMART学习环境

局限在教室四壁之内的教学和学习,甚至通过大规模在线课程(MOOC)和其他学习内容管理系统(LCMS)进行的在线学习不再被视为能力和技能开发的最佳方法,特别是对于在职专业人员。这些忙碌的学习者中的每一个都有自己的培训需求和先验知识。采用“一刀切”的教学方法绝对是无效的,没有激励和令人鼓舞的。对于某些学习者而言,内容可能太简单了,而对于其他学习者而言,则可能太困难了。这就是为什么本研究介绍了利用智能技术的SMART学习环境的原因为每个学习者个性化学习材料。这种技能上的不匹配正在成为一个紧迫的问题,并直接影响着ICT行业,而ICT行业是毛里求斯经济的支柱之一。因此,这项研究除了提出一种新颖的学习方法外,还试图解决具有国家重要性的问题。在三个阶段中收集了数据,即专家参考小组讨论,测试前问卷和调查问卷。进行了专家参考小组讨论,以进一步了解毛里求斯的网络安全专业人员的培训需求和期望。最终设计并实现了一个利用人工神经网络和反向传播算法对学习材料进行个性化的SMART学习环境。
