Modern teaching methods include both traditionally established approaches to the classroom and an entirely virtual approach aimed at learning from anywhere in the world at any time. Society is constantly witnessing increasingly popular platforms such as Coursera, Udacity, Udemy, and even YouTube, which are regarded as
aggregators of new knowledge.
The problem that is not addressed, however, is to what extent learning is effective in the process not only of the particular course but also within several interrelated courses of study. This article will describe a conceptual model for analysing the behaviour of intelligent agents who acquire knowledge by using
virtual tools to support the educational process, as well as ways to analyse the behaviour of the agents in question.
