چکیده

In order to realize the idea of document enrichment we developed a tool called TermPedia which predicts and defines technical terms. The definitions are extracted from Wikipedia, and the technical terms are also linked to contextually relevant Wikipedia articles which provide further explanation for the definitions. This paper presents results from a user study that was carried out to find out the effect of document enrichment on e-learning from educational documents (textbooks). In particular the study tried to answer the following questions, 1. Does document enrichment improve understanding of an e-content? 2. Does document enrichment reduce the time needed to e-Learn from an educational document?
