Abstract: Abstract Providing personalized learning path according to the individual learning characteristics poses great challenge. In the personalized learning environment, the content and the sequence of contents into path vary with individuals depending on their needs. Researchers have been proposing several variations on swarm intelligence and evolutionary algorithms since last decade. Their intention is to improve the performance of these algorithms on various optimization problems such as travelling salesman problem, scheduling problem. In this paper, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm (ACO) have been combined for constructing personalized learning path. Firstly, experiment was conducted to choose the best possible value for crucial parameters that influence the efficiency of the algorithm. Secondly, proposed method was compared for its execution time and quality of results to state the better performing algorithm. The experiment results indicated that the proposed method performs better produces good quality result with smaller to medium solution space.
