General theme
Semantic
dimension and its
customizability
@ceciliatomas Introduction
The paradigm
shift in the light of
web 3.0
Specific theme

5.
The separation and the interdependence,
between the social and the semantic web
The ability or level of personalization that
can lead a person to achieve aided by
the machine as instrument (extension or
addition to its capacity)
@ceciliatomas Introduction
The discovery of the human being as a self
(si-mesmo) through narrative connectivity

6.
4) Identify concepts
rediscovered with the
semantic web - such as
VLE, PLE, MOOC or OER;
5) Establish personalization
as a result of the Semantic
Web through the rhizome
and analytical models
from the connectivist
epistemology;
6) Advocate technology as
an instrument of
humanization.
@ceciliatomas Introduction
1) Identify the differences
between the social and
semantic web;
2) Characterize the
narrative identity
recovered by the notion
of instrumentality and the
human responsibility;
3) Analyse the possibility of
technology being
extension and / or
addition to human
capabilities;

I have a dream for
the Web... and it
has two parts. In
the first part, the
Web becomes a
much more
powerful means
for collaboration
between people.

In the second part of the dream,
collaborations extend to computers.
Machines become capable of analyzing
all the data on the Web - the content,
links, and transactions between people
and computers.

"Open Educational Resources (OER) are a direct
reaction to knowledge privatization;
they foment their exchange to the entire world
with the aim of increase the human intellectual
capacity."

“Social and semantic web can be
complementary approaches searching web
resources. This cooperative approach lets
enable a semantic search engine to find
accurate results and annotate web resources.”

Research Limitations
1. The inability to adequately develop a reflection about
the shift paradigm theme by temporal and conceptual
limitations related to the type of investigation in
question.
2. Many of the considerations made ​​in theoretical terms
are still, in practice, in an embryonic state or are
manifestations of future perspectives.
3. Density of the technical language that leaves
submerged some interpretations and intersections
between fields (technology and education, economics,
politics, and so on).

@ceciliatomas
Perspectives Opened by the Study
1. Continue the investigation about the social - semantic
Web envisaging developments (as in IoT).
2. Put itself in the plane of the consequences trying to find
ideas about ways followed by humans.
It is expected that the path of human
evolution will, certainly, be a path followed
by the smart technology ... Or not?...
