Semantic Web and Education

The opening section of Semantic Web and Education surveys the basic aspects and features of the Semantic Web. Following this basic review, the book concentrates on its primary topic of how Semantic Web developments can be used to build attractive and more successful education applications. The book analyzes the technical areas of architecture, metadata, learning objects, software engineering trends, and more. Integrated with these technical topics are examinations of learning-oriented topics such as learner modeling, collaborative learning, learning management, learning communities, ontological engineering of web-based learning, and related topics. The result is a thorough and highly useful presentation on the confluence of the technical aspects of the Semantic Web and the field of Education. The book will be of considerable interest to researchers and students in the fields Information Systems, Computer Science, and Education.

First book treatment on two "hot button" topics in Information Systems, Computer Science and Education: the application of web technology for educational use Will be attractive to a whole range of educators As an extension of this general educational interest, there are a number of conferences that cover educational technology Some examples are the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) International Conference on Leaning Technologies, International Conference on Web-Based Education and others Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

The first section of Semantic Web and Education surveys the basic aspects and features of the Semantic Web. After this basic review, the book turns its focus to its primary topic of how Semantic Web developments can be used to build attractive and more successful education applications.

The book analytically discusses the technical areas of architecture, metadata, learning objects, software engineering trends, and more. Integrated with these technical topics are the examinations of learning-oriented topics such as learner modeling, collaborative learning, learning management, learning communities, ontological engineering of web-based learning, and related topics. The result is a thorough and highly useful presentation on the confluence of the technical aspects of the Semantic Web and the field of Education or the art of teaching. The book will be of considerable interest to researchers and students in the fields Information Systems, Computer Science, and Education.
