Supporting adaptive learning interactions with ontologies

Published: 08 July 2010 Publication History

Abstract

The concept of adaptive technologies is increasingly prevalent in many areas, particularly in learning. In this context we require quick and robust approaches for developing adaptive learning environments. In order to construct such environments, we need to enable reusability of learning contents according to the needs of learners, which is one of the challenges for current learning technologies. In this paper we show how an ontology-based approach can help us to reuse the same learning contents for different purposes.
