Abstract
In last decade a number of design approaches have been adopted towards high performance e-learning systems. In this context Users/Learners modelling is a key milestone towards the specification of characteristics and features of learners that potentially can modify the flow of learning. In this article we are introducing an Ontology-Based User Modelling framework and and we show how it can be used in the context of a Semantic Learning Portal. The main contribution of the article relates to the detailed analysis for the design variables and requirements for Semantic Learning Applications towards adoption of services, personalization and management of personal profiles and identities of learners.
