Ontology-Driven E-Learning System Based on Roles and Activities for Thai Learning Environment

Abstract

In this paper the authors present an e-learning management system with metadata that serves as a general template for the situation of Thai learners. Basically it is an ontology-driven e-leaning system for Thai learning environment (O-DEST). The system comprises an ontology for the elearning process, such as course syllabus, teaching methods, learning activities, and learning styles. O-DEST helps teachers, students and administrative personnel to set up and maintain the course material as well as the course administration, to go through the learning content, and to administer student and teacher data. Ontologies for the knowledge domain specific teaching subjects will enable the usage of the teaching contents in the Semantic Web.

E-Portfolios for Integrated Reflection

“…Ontology techniques have been applied to repositories of learning objects (Namuth, Fritz, King, & Boren, 2005;Smrz, 2004;Snae & Brueckner, 2007;Wang, 2008;Zouaq Nkambou, & Frasson, 2007). However, few research reports have discussed ontologies of e-portfolios for reflection and active thinking.…”

A novel adaptive learning management system using ontology

“…The investigation of cosmology does a reversal to the works of Plato and Aristotle which comprises of progressively ordering various types of element and their elements [24]. Cosmology has been generally utilized as a part of late years in the field of counterfeit consciousness and software engineering, particularly in areas such as, savvy data incorporation [25], agreeable data frameworks [26], learning representation [27], data recovery and extraction [28] and database administration frameworks [29] [30].…”

Semantic Web Technologies Applied to E-Learning System

“…And suggests many different definitions of the term. One of the most quoted definition is widely known and ontology is Gruber [13], ontology is a specification of the concept of a clear [14].…”

“…Lytras, Sicily, [17] indicate a similar approach used for modeling objects of learning information systems. This approach includes the selection, installation, integration and assessment of learning objects, as well as an assessment of needs and gaps, and learning activities [14].…”

“…It is a warehouse where ontologies, metadata, and rules of inference, and learning resources and course descriptions, user profiles are stored. The metadata can be placed within the same document or in some external repository metadata (such as warehouse RDF) (14). Here the data is stored externally in a descriptive knowledge base.…”
