Learning with Semantic Wikis

چکیده
The knowledge society requires life-long learning and flexible learning environments that allow learners to learn whenever they have time, whereever they are, and according to their own needs and background knowledge. In this article, we investigate how Semantic Wikis – a combination of Wiki and Semantic Web technology – can support learners in such flexible learning environments. We first summarise common features of Wikis and Semantic Wikis and then describe different aspects of Semantic Wikis for learning. We also introduce our Semantic Wiki system called IkeWiki and show why it is particularly promising as a learning tool.

Thinking Semantic Wikis as Learning Object Repositories
Wikis have been extensively adopted in educational contexts becoming repositories of potentially reusable, self-contained learning units (commonly known as learning objects). Unfortunately, wikis lack of the packaging and metadata facilities that are needed to enable effective reuse of these units. In this article we propose an approach to use semantic wikis as learning object repositories, we ...
متن کاملAn Extensible Semantic Wiki Architecture
Wikis are prominent for successfully supporting the quick and simple creation, sharing and management of content on the web. Semantic wikis improve this by semantically enriched content. Currently, notable advances in different fields of semantic technology like (paraconsistent) reasoning, expressive knowledge (e.g., rules), and ontology learning can be observed. By making use of these technolo...

متن کاملSemantic CMS and Wikis as Platforms for Linked Learning
Although interoperability has always been a priority in e-learning, conventional Learning Management Systems are mostly geared towards the Standards for Learning Objects exchange and the integration among systems. The contingency for integration with other web applications and data is hardly foreseen. This prevents them, nowadays, from being flexible to adapt to the Linked Data standards emerge...
متن کاملApplying and Extending Semantic Wikis for Semantic Web Courses
This work describes the application of semantic wikis in distant learning for Semantic Web courses. The resulting system focuses its application of existing and new wiki technology in making a wiki-based interface that demonstrates Semantic Web features. A new layer of wiki technology, called “OWL Wiki Forms” is introduced for this Semantic Web functionality in the wiki interface. This new func...
