eLearning based on the semantic web

TLDR

eLearning demands fast, just‑in‑time learning, and the Semantic Web’s formal‑semantic architecture offers a promising way to meet those needs. The paper proposes a Semantic Web–based approach to implement eLearning scenarios. The approach relies on ontology‑based descriptions of content, context, and structure to facilitate provision and access to learning materials.

Abstract

eLearning is fast, relevant and just-in-time learning grown from the learningrequirements of the new, dynamically changing, distributed business world. The term „Semantic Web” encompasses efforts to build a new WWW architecture that supports content with formal semantics, which enables better possibilities for searching and navigating through the cyberspace. As such, the Semantic Web represents a promising technology for realizing eLearning requirements. This paper presents an approach for implementing the eLearning scenario using Semantic Web technologies. It is primarily based on ontology-based descriptions of content, context and structure of the learning materials and benefits the providing of and accessing to the learning materials.
