Web 3.0 and E-Learning

Abstract

The annals of the Web have been a defining moment in the evolution of education and e-Learning. The evolution of Web 1.0 almost three decades ago has been a precursor to Web 3.0 that has reshaped education and learning today. The evolution to Web 3.0 has been synonymous with “Semantic Web” or “Artificial Intelligence” (AI). AI makes it possible to deliver custom content to the learners based on their learning behavior and preferences. As a result of these developments, the learners have been empowered and have at their disposal a range of Web tools and technology powered by AI to pursue and accomplish their learning goals. This chapter traces the evolution and impact of Web 3.0 and AI on e-Learning and its role in empowering the learner and transforming the future of education and learning. This chapter will be of interest to educators and learners in exploring techniques that improve the quality of education and learning outcomes.

The Effectiveness of a Semantic-Web Based Program in Developing Pre-Service EFL Teachers’ Performance-Based Assessment

“…The Semantic Web can be used to create personalized learning experiences for students and develop adaptive assessment tools. The Semantic Web can revolutionize education by making it possible for students to learn at their own pace and in their own way, and for teachers to provide personalized feedback and guidance (Chauhan, 2016). Furthermore, Czerkawski, (2012) highlighted that the Semantic Web tools can give each student the ability to process information at their own pace .Overall, the Semantic Web has the potential to make education more personalized, effective, and efficient.…”

Application of web 3.0 technologies in distance education (by levels of higher education)

“…It allows you to interact with other devices such as tablets, smartphones and desktops, iPad. It also supports offline use or Intelligent Web 3.0 agents (artificial intelligence systems) perform several tasks: computing; querying and searching the database; searching for information on the Internet; search engine functionality and capabilities; learning analytics (CHAUHAN, 2016). Increasing the amount of information available on the Internet changes the type of grouping and access to it for graduates in distance learning.…”
