Language Technology for eLearning

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4227))

Abstract

Given the huge amount of static and dynamic content created for eLearning tasks, the major challenge for extending their use is to improve the effectiveness of retrieval and accessibility by making use of Learning Management Systems. The aim of the European project Language Technology for eLearning is to tackle this problem by providing Language Technology based functionalities and by integrating semantic knowledge to facilitate the management, distribution and retrieval of the learning material.
