Building/Extracting/Mapping/Visualizing an Individualized Learning Contents Based on Ontology

摘要

This paper shows a way to bring a synergy in education through an analysis of co-relationships and each advantage between ontology and concept map. Specifically this paper proposes an English vocabulary learning system applying both of them. In the proposed system, the mapping between ontology and concept map is processed by a concept map agent we developed. The concept map agent uses an ontology to reconstruct English vocabulary properties, extract the learning contents from the ontology, and then display the analyzed results directly through the user interface in a graphical form of a concept map. In addition, it also uses an ontology to link previously learned English vocabularies systematically and helps learners learn English vocabularies by making relations among them based on constructivism so that learners escape from memorizing each word separately without knowing relations among words.
