Polyscopic Topic Maps-Based Flexible and Exploratory Learning
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Demands to make education flexible and active call for a comprehensive restructuring of the traditional university course format. We show how such restructuring can be done in a natural and coherent way by combining e-learning with Polyscopic Topic Maps, an information structuring method which is being developed by the authors. We describe a university course model called Flexplearn which is based on this approach, and a prototype Flexplearn course where our model is currently being implemented, used and tested.

A Case for Polyscopic Structuring of Information
We outline the main elements of what we call polyscopic structuring of information and argue that information needs to be structured accordingly. The principles of polyscopy may both serve as guidelines for creating Topic Maps, and provide orientation for further development of Topic Maps standards and software.
متن کاملTopic Maps for polyscopic structuring of information
In this paper, we argue that information overload is caused by fragmented information with no high-level information helping to assemble the fragments into meaningful wholes. We argue that a methodological approach is needed to propose the Polyscopic Modelling as a possible way to organise information into meaningful wholes. We also look at how polyscopy could be implemented by using Topic Maps...
متن کاملFacet-based Exploratory Search in Topic Maps
In this contribution, we address exploratory search where a user is faced with an information need concerning a domain he lacks specific knowledge. Based on the work of Delbru et al., which introduced metrics to measure the navigational quality of automatically selected facets for RDF data, we apply those findings to the semantically richer TMDM and show how exploratory search functionality can...

متن کاملExploratory Topic Modeling with Distributional Semantics
As we continue to collect and store textual data in a multitude of domains, we are regularly confronted with material whose largely unknown thematic structure we want to uncover. With unsupervised, exploratory analysis, no prior knowledge about the content is required and highly open-ended tasks can be supported. In the past few years, probabilistic topic modeling has emerged as a popular appro...
