E-Learning Developing Using Ontological Engineering

2013

One of the most important prerequisites in base plan for long-term development of all countries is high education level in society what includes e-learning studies. The time is coming when global tasks could be solved only with communication and learning in world level. Ontological engineering have become an efficient methodology for knowledge representation and management in many domains and tasks. Ontology design, approaches and methodologies are very important issues for building ontologies for specific task. This paper presents the application of the ontological engineering methodology in e-Learning domain. There is the development of two web-based ontologies in the area of artificial intelligence technology. The first one is the “Artificial Intelligence in Education” ontology and the second is ‘Expert Systems” ontology. The developed ontologies were encoded in OWL-DL format using the Protégé-OWL editing environment. The ontological engineering methodology is widely used in many...

Ontology-based Approach to Build Intelligent E-Learning Systems

2010

Today e-learning systems become more and more social and have tendency to include web 2.0 software. A number of online tools and resources give a new adaptive and integrated environment for educational purposes. The Long Tail Learning phenomenon promotes a better motivation and involves students in learning. But all these benefits miss a component of the concept knowledge about a studied domain which is usually provided by a teacher. Meanwhile, ontological engineering is a very effective methodology to create, keep up-to-date, review and structure teaching courses and materials. The combination of the ontology-based approach and the new web 2.0 technologies suggests that students engage in an active learning process where such skills as collaboration, creative and analytical thinking, communication and socialization are developed more effectively. The first results of applying the described technology prove a wide perspective of the use of this technology as a part of e-learning systems.

Ontological Engineering for Corporate Knowledge Portal Design

IFIP advances in information and communication technology, 2004

The paper presents one approach aimed at corporate knowledge portal design based on the principles of olllologicai engineering. This approach proposes knowledge acquisition technique that scaffolds the process of information structuring by visual knowledge/data mapping as a poweiful mindtool. Ontologies that define the main concepts of the company' s activity are used as a roadmap for knowledge management. The discussed technology is taught at the executive courses offered on the foundations of knowledge engineering and management to IT managers of differelll companies in Russia. Poland and Estonia. The described ideas are implemented in a series of computer programs that provide research/design framework for professional knowledge engineers and managers.

Creating of an Educational Enviroment Using Ontology-Based Approach to E-learning Systems

2020

The article disclosed the meaning of the concept of “educational environment”, describes the technology of creating such an environment based on ontology-based approach to e-learning systems, namely its components: conceptual, semantic, procedural and control-correction. The process of presenting e-learning content, which is based on a certain set of logically related blocks (chunks) and its properties, is described. The essence of didactic and content ontologies of academic discipline is revealed. Examples of the application of technology in the study of disciplines: “Computer Graphics and Multimedia”, “Linear Algebra”, “Calculus”, “Data Structure”, simulated interdisciplinary connections using chunks.

Ontological Web Portal for Educational Ontologies

In spite of the fact that the field of applying ontological research in education is fairly young it is already quite broad and fuzzy. The set of technologies used and developed there have roots in a variety of diverse areas of information and pedagogical sciences. To facilitate the process of scientific and scholastic search the domain needs to be structured. This paper presents two main results: an ontological overview of the Ontologies for Education field and an initial report on the development of an ontology-driven web portal providing a single network place, where researchers, students, and practitioners can find information about available research projects and successful practices in this field.

Educational Ontology Development

Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition

Ontology use in education environments can be explained in three groups: content access and/or retrieval, content creation, and personalization. Use of ontologies helps content creators to design, develop online courses; provide smart searches and content suggestions; and, design personalized learning environments for learners. But it is not always possible for educators to find the best ontology for their needs in their Learning Management System. Since the ontology creation is a complex process, it might not be always easy or even possible to create an ontology for a selected domain and use accordingly. In this paper, first, a review of state-of-the art literature regarding the ontologies in educational domain will be reviewed. Second, the challenges and difficulties in ontology development process for educational domain will be addressed and explained in detail. Finally, design suggestions to the difficulties expressed in the literature and further opportunities in ontology desig...

Ontology-Based Model of Information Technology for E-Learning Systems

2019

The article is devoted to the ontology-based model of information technology for e-learning systems which are based on the creation of the course ontology and the didactics of E-learning. The authors conduct an overview and create a classification of modern information technologies in education. The article also describes what benefits can be obtained using the chunk-based approach to analyze students’ knowledge. A new model of interaction between the all members of the educational process is proposed. The authors come to the conclusion that the educational application of the ontology-based model of information technology for e-learning systems should be based on granting lecture lessons with an additional motivational component, creating computerbased support of unsupervised work, automatizing knowledge level control

Ontologies and Semantic Web for E-Learning

Handbook on Information Technologies for Education and Training, 2008

This article discusses the area of ontologies and semantic web technologies in E-Learning and compares the state of research in years 2004 and 2006. It considers the impact of ontologies on the web-based educational systems (WBES). It then presents an ontology of the area of ontologies for education along with a community web portal (O4E) driven by that ontology. Finally, it presents a use case of semantic web technologies as enabling aware standards-based repositories of learning materials (objects).
