An Owl Ontology for Metadata of Interactive Learning Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main purpose of this paper is to present the importance of Interactive Learning Objects (ILO) to improve the teaching-learning process by assuring a constant interaction among teachers and students, which in turn, allows students to be constantly supported by the teacher. The paper describes the ontology that defines the ILO available on the Internet. Besides, it shows the implementation of tests conducted on the virtual environment eTutor. Finally, it presents the assessment of the results based on the use of ILO in the subject Introduction to Hardware and Computing taught to 20 students.

Towards Educational Metadata Interoperability on Semantic Web
Metadata is broadly used to describe learning objects and its standards have been developed to improve interoperability. With the current Web extension by the Semantic Web, learning object metadata has been migrating from XML-based metadata formats to semantic metadata formats. This work explores XSLT to provide a solution for this transition of descriptions to educational metadata. The approac...
متن کاملCase Study: Ontology for Metadata in e-Learning
Learning objects are a fundamental concept in new educational paradigms based on e-learning. These resources are not only content but also include metadata descriptions organized into categories, often in the form of an application profile of the IEEE LOM standard. These metadata descriptions facilitate the design, search, exchange and reuse of educational contents reachable through learning ob...
متن کاملA Non-authoritative Educational Metadata Ontology for Filtering and Recommending Learning Objects
Digital libraries populated with learning objects are becoming popular tools in the creation of instructional technologies. Many current efforts to create standard metadata structures that facilitate the discovery and instructional use of learning objects recommend a single, authoritative metadata record per version of the learning object. However, as we argue in this paper, a single metadata r...
متن کاملA Semantic Web Approach to Recommend Learning Objects
This work explores the use of Semantic Web techniques as an alternative to traditional educational recommender systems. The proposed model explores the use of Learning Object metadata information and Student academic profile described by knowledge ontologies in order to provide a knowledge structure. This knowlege is stored in an OWL ontology providing domain knowledge and knowledge interoperab...
متن کاملEnhanced e-Learning Experience by Pushing the Limits of Semantic Web Technologies
We investigate a novel approach to e-Learning using Semantic Web technologies and aiming to optimise the learners’ experience incorporating pedagogical strategies into the learning process. The increasing availability of Semantic Web based educational resources and the establishment of open metadata standards like IEEE LOM pave the way for enhanced e-Learning systems that support personalised l...
