Integrating Learning and Assessment Using the Semantic Web

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3480))

Abstract

An integrated Learning Management and Web assessment system, based on a Semantic Web approach is presented. The use of ontology allows not only the implementation of an innovative Learning Management system in which the learning objects may be produced through the local Content Management subsystem or acquired from URI pointing to external resources, but also of an “intelligent” assessment system that will take into account the learning path followed by the student. The proposed architecture is suited to implement a blended learning system in which the frontal lessons are reinforced by e-learning modules.
