PMIIDAS: Integration of Open Educational Resources Based on Semantic Technologies

Abstract

This article presents a prototype called PMIIDAS. The prototype focuses on the creation of open educational resources based on pedagogical and institutional guidelines, their representation using semantic indexing, and the storage and retrieval thereof by Semantic Web technologies. The use of this prototype can have benefits such as the reuse of open educational resources, which are distributed in institutional repositories or educational platforms by applying a semantic approach, search and retrieval of relevant information can be done through the use of ontologies and user profiles; as well as the exchange of educational resources among educational institutions.

Integration of Open Educational Resources Using Semantic Platform

“…To implement the MIIDAS Platform, different activities were established, among which the following stand out: a) definition of guidelines to create exercises, practices and thematic presentations; b) proposal of the semantic index; c) construction of ontologies (educational, user profile, educational resources and domain: Computing, Electronics and Military); d) design and architecture of the platform; e) implementation of the platform and f) unit tests, integration and configuration of the platform. The above activities are described in more detail in [5].…”

“…The openness of OERs does not only refer to the free access to consult, enrich or generate new resources, but also to an open structure (semantic indexes) in a processable format Resource Description Framework (RDF) belongs to the technologies of the Semantic Web, based on ontologies, semantic descriptions (semantic indexes), and languages [5].…”

Process of Building an Educational and a Military Ontology for the Mexican Context

“…The Mexican context is represented by the structure of these institutions, their teaching modalities and considering the educational strategies to enable students to achieve good cognitive and formative levels. These ontologies are used by individuals of the Military Education System as training tools, they are also part of the MIIDAS prototype, which is a proposal for the integration of educational resources managed through semantic technologies [5].…”
