Adaptive and Intelligent Educational Systems are interesting resources for supporting teaching-learning activities. Such environments make use of intelligent techniques to adapt educational content to the real needs of students. With the increasing amount of educational content becoming available, there is a good reason to believe that smart data analysis and machine learning techniques will become...
E-recruitment at current is one of the most widely used ways to recruit top talent for an organization. The process starts with advertising job description on a single or multiple job portals. The depth and breadth of job description defines how many potential candidates it will be able to attract. With the advent of Semantic Web, a need to define an ontology for job description can not be ignored...
An information technology (IT) tool that can guide STEM educators through the complex task of course design development, ensure tight alignment between various components of an instructional module, and provide relevant information about research-based pedagogical and assessment strategies will be of great value. A Semantic Web-based software tool called Instructional Module Development (IMOD) System,...
This paper presents the development of a formative assessment ontology, called Onto Note F, that enables teachers to add a formal semantics to formative feedback annotations they put on students' lab reports in Lab Book system. It is linked to a learning domain ontology enabling teachers to give formative feedbacks to students on expected lab work tasks. Onto Note F is developed following a rigorous...
The learning management systems are born as new favorable virtual scenarios for the teaching. This paper present the application of knowledge management methods to optimize the use of learning objects in specific topics of subjects, courses, or seminars in virtual scenarios; therefore, a model is presented for knowledge transfer in the learning and the results of its application are exposed.
Technologies for record management systems have not been sufficient in meeting industry's demands, especially for providing appropriate search options that are context-sensitive. Ontology has been a tool for providing useful vocabulary and meaning that enable decision-makers to find the relevant information quickly. This paper discusses an ontology development approach that is used to improve search-ability...
Open Educational Resources are accessed through the web, whose real setting shows an explosion in the use and development of tools and services based on Social Software. However, the growth of this data repository makes it difficult to find information of value, and reduces the possibilities of sharing and exchanging resources. Using semantic technologies to describe educational resources enables...
One of the ways of improving quality of Software Engineering (SE) education is to develop mechanisms for quantitatively analyzing SE courses taught in universities. We propose a new multidimensional approach for analyzing SE courses. Two aspects are important for this analysis. One is what is covered (how much of the total SE knowledge space is covered in the course)? And second is how is it covered...
Metadata is the data that describes, locates and manages a specific resource object, whose discovering and obtaining is meanwhile facilitated. The application and popularization of metadata standard is propitious to the normalized description and sharing of resources. There are various metadata standards because of the diversity of resources and different demands of application, which hinders the...
With the in-deep researches of the heterogenic characteristic of educational resources, the platform of Web service-based educational resources semantic sharing(abbr.WERS2) is built which takes three problems of operation heterogenic, data representation heterogenic, knowledge isolation into account and utilizes web services technology, criterion building and ontology technology to realize operation...
Today, it is almost impossible to imagine distance education without the use of numerous software systems, technologies, specifications and standards. Industry, to be able to develop and maintain "learning" systems effectively and yet to have commercially successful business models, limits the overall learning landscape, by fixing learning to a predetermined set of activities, communities,...
