Rayudu Srinivas, Chepuri Hari Kiran, Pathivada Laxmi Ram Charan . Lumina: An Intelligent Multi-Agent Adaptive Learning Management System with Bayesian Knowledge Tracing, Deep Knowledge Tracing, and Reinforcement Learning for Personalized Education. International Journal of Computer Applications. 187, 122 ( Jul 2026), 1-12. DOI=10.5120/ijcaa4901066e72b
The educational technology market continues to expand, yet most learning management systems remain content-centric, weakly personalized, and reactive to failure. This paper presents Lumina, a privacy-first, multi-agent adaptive learning management system that combines Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT), Deep Knowledge Tracing (DKT), reinforcement learning (RL) for curriculum sequencing, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and a behavior engine that captures more than fifty passive learning signals. Lumina coordinates six specialized agents through the Model Context Protocol to provide closed-loop tutoring, assessment, intervention, analytics, and governance. The evaluation is organized into three complementary layers: prototype stress testing across 10,000 synthetic learner scenarios, external validation on the public xAPI-Edu-Data benchmark (480 learner records), and a reproducible benchmark matrix defined for future knowledge-tracing studies on ASSISTments and EdNet. The prototype analytics benchmark completed in 0.90 seconds with zero runtime failures and a throughput of approximately 11,051 inference runs per second. On xAPI-Edu-Data, a Random Forest baseline achieved 0.800 accuracy and 0.804 macro-F1 under five-fold stratified cross-validation, demonstrating that the behavioral signal families used by Lumina are predictive on real educational data. These results position Lumina as a technically coherent, self-hosted, and benchmark-ready foundation for explainable personalized education.
