Ontology-based Smart Learning Environment for Teaching Word Problems in Mathematics

Affordances and Core Functions of Smart Learning Environments: A Systematic Literature Review

“…The results show that the recommendation affordance was recognized by 29% of the publications. In the context of tutoring systems, Lalingkar et al [60] developed a system that provided corrective feedback clues just after answering the question. The difficulty level of the questions could be configured by the teacher.…”

“…Likewise, SLEs might collect multiple samples along the learning activity to trace stakeholders' actions and reactions.

Exploiting the knowledge engineering paradigms for designing smart learning systems

“…From the knowledge engineering perspectives, the ontological engineering paradigm is frequently used by smart computing and information science communities [12]. Currently, there are many uses of ontologies in commercial, industrial, life sciences, and academical domains [13,29]. The application of ontologies in smart educational and learning systems may be proposed from several points of view: as a chain between heterogeneous educational systems, as a common and approved vocabulary for multi-agent systems, ontologies for pedagogical resources sharing or for sharing data and ontologies used to mediate the search of the learning resources on the web-based environments.…”

The development of an ontology model for early identification of children with specific learning disabilities

“…In education, many ontology-based applications have been developed to effectively overcome the barriers of sharing information across educational applications [7], teaching problem solving [8], providing frameworks for learning outcomes reuse [9,10] and enabling intelligent and personalized student support [11,12]. Furthermore, ontology also has been adopted in special education domain to identify types of special education [2,13] and recommend suitable teaching and learning process according to the special needs ISSN: 2088-8708 …”
