Thinking Semantic Wikis as Learning Object Repositories
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 discuss its challenges and its potential, and we present a conceptual model and its implementation based on the Semantic MediaWiki engine.

Learning with Semantic Wikis
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 summ...
متن کاملNavigating learning Resources through Linked Data: a preliminary Report on the Re-Design of Organic.Edunet
Learning objects repositories have grown and matured in the last years, being currently a cornerstone for open education. Several current systems are offering metadata openly through mainstream harvesting protocols or providing standardized query interfaces. Also, the use of standardized vocabularies or ontologies is becoming more common to provide a degree of semantic interoperability. However...
متن کاملTowards Browsing Distant Metadata Using Semantic Signatures
In this document, we describe a light-weighted ontology mediation method that allows users to send semantic queries to distant data repositories to browse for learning object metadata. In a collaborative E-learning community, member data repositories might use different ontologies to control a set of vocabularies describing topics in learning resources. This could hinder the search of learning ...
متن کاملeduSource: Interoperable Network of Learning Object Repositories
In this paper, we describe the approach to achieve a high level of interoperability in the eduSource. The eduSource project is a panCanadian collaborative project to create a testbed of linked and interoperable learning object repositories (LOR). Two interoperability mechanisms will support linkage of LORs. A semantic cobblestone supports connecting the LOR into the eduSource network and will p...
متن کاملRaising up Annotations in Pedagogical Resources by Human- Computer Collaboration
Huge repositories of pedagogical resources such as the French initiative of digital thematic libraries are now accessible by both students and professors. This high quantity of data makes their access difficult to the students, as they cannot get easily pertinent pedagogical resources that fit their needs. One way to make this access easier is to add annotations to these resources and to exploi...
