چکیده

e-Learning; Fuzzy domain ontology; Cross ontology; Semantic similarity measure Abstract e-Learning is one of the most preferred media of learning by the learners. The learners search the web to gather knowledge about a particular topic from the information in the repositories. Retrieval of relevant materials from a domain can be easily implemented if the information is organized and related in some way. Ontologies are a key concept that helps us to relate information for providing the more relevant lessons to the learner. This paper proposes an adaptive e-Learning system, which generates a user specific e-Learning content by comparing the concepts with more than one system using similarity measures. A cross ontology measure is defined, which consists of fuzzy domain ontology as the primary ontology and the domain expert’s ontology as the secondary ontology, for the comparison process. A personalized document is provided to the user with a user profile, which includes the data obtained from the processing of the proposed method under a User score, which is obtained through the user evaluation. The results of the proposed e-Learning system under the designed cross ontology similarity measure show a significant increase in performance and accuracy under different conditions. The assessment of the comparative analysis, showed the difference in performance of our proposed method over other methods. Based on the assessment results it is proved that the proposed approach is effective over other methods. a 2014 King Saud University. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Proposed Approach to Build Semantic Learner Model in Adaptive E-Learning

In the context of E-learning, adaptive systems are more specialized and focus on the adaptation of learning content and the presentation of this content. The adaptive E-learning system focuses on how the profile data is learned by the learner and pays attention to learning activities, cognitive structures and the context of the learning material. The system controls the process of collecting da...

Measuring semantic similarity within reference ontologies to improve ontology alignment

Some ontology alignment (OA) systems find an identical bridge concept in a reference ontology to which both the source and target concept can be mapped. Then a mapping between the two is produced. Using semantic similarity within a reference ontology can find more mappings than with only identical bridge concepts. A wide variety of semantic similarity measures were implemented within AgreementM...
