Abstract
An ontological system integrated with an eLearning platform can support teachers in building courses and students in accessing courses content. To this end we propose an ontological approach to semantically enrich eLearning courses. In particular the association of semantics to the learning resources can greatly improve their organization and management, both for students and teachers. This paper proposes a method for creating eLearning courses based on repositories of semantically annotated learning objects. The proposed method supports teachers in flexibly building learning paths and students in customising and extending the courses according to their needs.
