The Knowledge Puzzle: An Integrated Approach of Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Knowledge Management

Abstract

In this paper, we present The Knowledge Puzzle, an ontology-based platform designed to facilitate domain knowledge acquisition for knowledge-based systems and especially for intelligent tutoring systems. We present a new content model, the Knowledge Puzzle Content Model, that aims to create Learning Knowledge Objects (LKOs) from annotated content. Annotations are performed semi-automatically using natural language processing algorithms. These LKOs are then aggregated in an Organizational memory (OM) which serves as a knowledge base for an intelligent tutoring system (ITS)
