Background
Add semantic references to scenario components: actors, tasks and resources to educational modeling languages such as IMS-LD (2003)
– Paquette and Marino, 2005
“Include the improved modeling of users and items, and incorporation of the contextual information into the recommendation process”
– Adomavicus and Tuzhilin (2005)
The “Adaptive Semantic Web” opens new approaches for recommenders systems: use of folksonomies and ontological filtering of resources
– Activity transition Activity transition (started, terminated, revisited,…)(started, terminated, revisited,…)– Time spent (activity, global …) Time spent (activity, global …) – Resources opened, reopened,…Resources opened, reopened,…
Condition = boolean expression comparing: Condition = boolean expression comparing: – Target actor progress in the scenario + Target actor progress in the scenario + knowledge and knowledge and
competencies acquired + evidence => competencies acquired + evidence => User persistent modelUser persistent model
– Resources: prerequisite and target competenciesResources: prerequisite and target competencies
– Activities: prerequisite and target competenciesActivities: prerequisite and target competencies
Action = advice, notification, model updateAction = advice, notification, model update
Semantic Referencing of Resources
Of what– Actors, activities, documents, tools, models, scenarios …
Why– Help select resources at design time for better quality scenarios
– Inform users of the resources’ content at design or delivery time
– Assist users according to their knowledge and competencies
How– Associate formal semantic descriptors to resources from a
domain ontologies and/or competencies based on ontology references
Type de rechercheType de recherche Type de résultatType de résultat
Simple Using key words from the ontology
AdvancedUsing knowledge and competency Using knowledge and competency boolean queryboolean query
Resource PairingUsing semantic comparison between queried ressource and other resources

Compare the Compare the neighbourhoods of K1 and K2of K1 and K2
Possible resultsPossible results– K2 K2 near and more and more specialized / / general than K1 than K1
Competency Comparison
Based on knowledge Based on knowledge comparison ((KK))
Base on Base on the distance between skills’ levels (between skills’ levels (HH) ) and and performance levels distances(performance levels distances(PP))
Possible resultsPossible results C2C2 veryNear / Near C1 C1 C2C2 stronger / weaker than C1than C1 C2 more C2 more specialized / general than C1than C1

Competency ComparisonCompetency Comparison
Competency comparison Competency comparison within rule conditionswithin rule conditions
A competency-based condition is a triple:– ObjectCompetencyList is the list of prerequisite or target
competencies of another actor, a task or a resource to be compared with user’s actual competency list
– Relation is one of the comparison relations : Identical, Near, VeryNear, MoreGeneric, MoreSpecific, Stronger, Weaker, or any combination of these.
– Quantification takes two values: HasOne or HasAll
EX: HasAll /NearMoreSpecific / Target competencies for Essay EX: HasOne/Weaker/Target competency for Build Table activity

Achievements in this project
Extension of the TELOS Technical Ontology for semantic referencing of resources, search and recommendation
Definition of a Typology of semantic descriptors (ontology descriptors and competenciers)
Search methods for resources ‘identical’ ou ‘near’ sémantically
Recommendation Model: based on competency comparison between actors, tasks and resources
New integrated suite of tools: Semantic referencer, Semantic search tools, Competency and Ontology editors, Integration to recommanders scenarios, Recomenders’ rule editor.
Future stepsFuture steps
More experimental validation to refine the semantic relations
between OWL-DL references, i.e adding weights to the various
comparison cases
Investigate recommendation methods for groups in collaborative
scenarios (permitted by our model of multi-actor learning scenarios)
Improve the practical use of the approach, partly automate tasks,
improve the ergonomics
Investigate the integration of other recommendation methods (e.g.
user analytics)
“Free” the suite of tools from TELOS to extend its usability on the
Web of data.
