Structuring Semantic Web ITS

Abstract

Most of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) using semantic Web and ontology concepts put their focus on learning objects (LO) aspects and, generally, do not include a clear representation of a pedagogical model. The relationship among all the system architecture's components and how the use of semantic Web and ontology can improve the interoperability among these components are other aspects not clearly addressed. As a way to address these drawbacks, an architecture with a clear separation of concerns of its components, with each component represented by a specific ontology, has been used. Despite only a prototype has been implemented, it has been possible to visualize the soundness of the chosen approach
