Using Ontology in Planning an Educational Web

Abstract

Abstract In recent years, some important steps have been taken to bring the educational semantic web to its full potential. In this paper, we address the design and implementation of ontology based system that helps the Information Technology (IT) teachers in Iraq generating their courses. The system constitutes an ontology, ITONTO that merges the domain knowledge of the IT subject, pedagogical concepts and web learning materials (Learning Objects). The IT educational goals are briefly explored. We have focused on technical details based ontology design to explore its application in Educational domain. Keywords: Course generation, Ontology, Planning, E-Learning, Pedagogy.
