Ontologies for Personalised Adaptive Learning

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in individual education. Consequently, one of the hot research topics is to adapt learning content to learner’s learning needs. Furthermore, recent developments in the field of semantic web have led to a renewed attention with focus in ontology-based e-learning system. This paper proposes an innovative ontological approach to design a personalised e-learning system which creates tailored contents for individual learners. The learning content associated with sequencing logic provides a clear separation between the domain and content models to increase the reusability and flexibility of the system. Additionally, in the proposed approach learner’s profiles are modelled to describe learner’s characteristics.
