Modeling the repurposing of teaching resources in medical domain through social networks and semantic web
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The development of teaching materials has currently became one of the main concerns of the specialists from various domains, including medicine. The continuous development of e-Learning applications demands the creation of new types of resources that encourage individual study activities with automatic system monitoring and less involvement from the teacher. One of the most promising approaches used currently for creating this type of educational materials in an efficient manner is the improvement and repurposing of the already existing resources. Nevertheless, this method generates new issues related with the description of the connections between the involved resources and also with the search process and identification of the relevant, good quality materials. In this paper we present a possible solution to these problems based on the characteristics of the social networks blended with functionalities specific to the semantic web. Through these tools we will describe the relations between resources and will consequently be able to provide more significant search results. The application presented, called Metamorphosis+, exposes a user interface that hides the complexity of the description process and allows users without technical background to benefit from the provided functionalities.
