A Layered Approach towards Domain Authoring support
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an approach to authoring support for Web courseware based on a layered ontological paradigm. The ontology-based layers in the courseware authoring architecture serve as a basis for formal semantics and reasoning support in performing generic authoring tasks. This approach represents an extension of our knowledge classification and indexing mechanism from a previously developed system, AIMS, aimed at supporting students while completing learning tasks in a Web-based learning/training environment. We propose the addition of two vertical layers in the system architecture, Author assisting layer and Operational layer, with the role of facilitating the creation of the ontological layers (Course ontology and Domain ontology) and of the educational metadata layer. Here we focus on the domain ontology creation process, together with the support that the additional layers can provide within this process. We exemplify our method by presenting a set of generic tasks related to conceptbased domain authoring and their ontological support.

Constraint modeling for curriculum planning and validation
Curricula authoring is a complex process, involving different actors and different kinds of knowledge. Learners aim at acquiring expertise about some topic of their own interest, and need to perceive that the curriculum they attend will lead them towards their goal; when this does not happen, they become demotivated. Learners are all different, not only in their aims but also in their backgroun...
متن کاملEarthTutor: A Multi-Layered Approach to ITS Authoring
This paper presents the EarthTutor authoring tool, a multi-layered system designed to remove the technical hurdles preventing teachers from having full control over the structure of their lessons, without sacrificing the power and technical flexibility required for an effective ITS implementation. EarthTutor reduces the ITS design problem to a series of related but independent layers. Each laye...
متن کاملLAOS: Layered WWW AHS Authoring Model with Algebraic Operators
In this paper, we describe the design steps for WWW authoring of adaptive hypermedia via a five layer model. We argue that we need to introduce the goal and constraints model between the domain model and adaptation and user models, in order to be able to generate adaptive hypermedia on the fly and to actually implement the so often quoted re-usage paradigm. We also show the operators necessary ...
متن کاملOntoAIMS: Ontological Approach to Courseware Authoring
In this paper we discuss how ontology concepts can be beneficial for a flexible and semantic rich description of the authoring process and for the provision of authoring support of Intelligent Educational Systems (IES) with respect to three main authoring tasks: domain editing, course sequencing and resource management. We take a semantic perspective on the knowledge representation and explore ...
متن کاملAdaptive Authoring of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia
In this paper we propose a set of guidelines for an adaptive authoring environment of adaptive educational hypermedia. This set consists of relevant and necessary functionalities of authoring systems (AS) for adaptive teaching and/or learning environments (LE). We extracted the core functionalities by analysing MyEnglishTeacher (MyET) and AIMS two independently designed and built AS for adaptab...
