Applying Semantic Web Technologies to E-learning

The paper advocate the use of ontologies to explicitly specify all learning designs, learning objects and the relations between them to increase the level of reusability and presents an ontology-based approach to integrate learning designs and learning object content. In this paper we first define a conceptual model that introduces an intermediary level between learning design and learning objects called the reusability context. Then, we use ontologies to represent these concepts. At last, we conclude by analyzing the potential usability of the proposed framework.
