derived from the actual usage of learning objects and learning designs. The core part of the proposed framework
is a learning object context ontology, that leverages a range of other kinds of learning ontologies (e.g., user
modeling ontology, domain ontology, and learning design ontology) to capture the information about the real
usage of a learning object inside a learning design. We also present some learner-centered and teacher-centered
scenarios enabled by the proposed framework in order to illustrate the benefits the framework offers to these key
participants of any learning process. Finally, we demonstrate how two present educational tools (i.e.
TANGRAM and LOCO-Analyst) correspond to the proposed architecture | 2007 |
