[topicmapmail] Re: Any info on application of topic maps for e-learning ? (topicmapmail digest, Vol 1 #866)

[Elke Siemon]

Dear Christo,

we currently  work on two projects using
ontologies as basis for eLearning: K-Med and Cultos.
Both project use K-Infinity for building
the ontology. Ontologys build
with K-Infinity can be exported
as topic map (XML, RDF)
Anyone who is interested in a demo version
of K-Infinity's Knowledge Builder or
a demo version of the K-Med-System
is invited to contact me.

K-Med,
---------
is a flexible webbased e-Learning system
for medical science students.
It includes the possibilities for navigating
medical knowledge for autonomous
task-oriented learning.
Lecturers and other authors of lections
are able to research the learning material.
The goal is a knowledge base containing
semantically linked content modules
for building lections as well as reuse of
content for different subjects and
maintaining content.
Description of content modules is
given with LOM.
see www.k-med.org

Cultos
--------
The aim of CULTOS is to develop new
knowledge-aware multimedia authoring
and presentation tools for non-technical
experts, for cross-media integration of
cultural multimedia artefacts.
see www.cultos.org

Greetings

Elke Siemon
