Knowledge Ontologies
Learning is a knowledge centered activity:
One of the main goals of a learning process is the
articulation in the learner’s mind of a body of "An ontology is a specification of a
knowledge for the considered domain. conceptualization....That is, an ontology is
The skeleton of this body is usually a semantic a description (like a formal specification of
network of the main concepts involved in that a program) of the concepts and
domain - ONTOLOGY
relationships that can exist for an agent or
a community of agents" (Gruber)

Ontologies used in e-Learning Personalized texts for e-Learning
Are adapted to each users':
Domain knowledge - student model
Tutoring learning style
psychological profile
Human-computer interfacing
goals (e.g. lists of concepts to be learned)
Lexical level (novice, expert)
Upper Level preferences (e.g. style of web pages)

Keeps track of the concepts known, unknown or
wrongly known by the student (Dimitrova, Self, Brna, MacPAIL

The approach was used for CS students at
PUB
Algernon is not reliable – in future JESS
A lot of psychology work to be done
Difficult to develop the ontology
