SW-EL'06: Workshop on Applications of Semantic Web Technologies
for Adaptive Educational Hypermedia
in conjunction with AH 2006:
International Conference on Adaptive Hypermedia
and Adaptive Web-Based Systems
(Dublin, Ireland, June 20-23, 2006)
Supported by the Knowledge Web Network of Excellence
http://knowledgeweb.semanticweb.org/
DEADLINE: MARCH 31, 2006

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Semantic Web promises an advancement in the intelligent Web-
based educational systems design and development by enabling more
adequate and accurate representation of learners, their learning
goals, learning materials and contexts of their use, as well as
more efficient access to and navigation through learning resources.
This workshop will discuss the application of Semantic Web
standards and technologies to achieve adaptation and personalization
in Web- based educational systems and will focus on issues related
to learner modeling, learning content and design adaptation,
learning repositories personalization, and personalization of mobile
educational applications.
SW-EL'06 is forth in the series, following the successful workshop
on Concepts and Ontologies in Web-based Educational Systems, held
in conjunctions with ICCE 2002, the three sessions of SW-EL'04 (in
conjunction with ITS'04, AH'04, and ISWC'04), and the three sessions
of SW-EL in 2005 (in conjunction with AIED'05, ICALT'05, and K-CAP'05).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop goals
------------------------------------------------------------------
* To discuss the current state-of-the-art of the applications of
semantic web technologies and standards in adaptive educational
hypermedia.
* To attract the interest of the related research communities to the
problems in adaptive educational hypermedia and serve as an
international platform for knowledge exchange and cooperation between
researchers.
* To provide feedback to educational and semantic web standardization
bodies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop topics
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted, to:
* Using ontologies for adaptation and personalization of e-learning
applications:
- to represent learning content;
- to organize learning repositories / digital libraries;
- to enable sharable learning objects and learner models;
- to support authoring of adaptive Web-based educational systems.
* Using contexts for adaptation and personalization of
e-learning applications:
- to support personalized information retrieval;
- to support adaptive information filtering;
- to support mobile learning applications personalization.
* Using semantic web standards and tools in adaptive Web-based educational
systems to improve:
- learning objects representation and retrieval;
- learning designs;
- learner modeling;
- authoring of educational AHS.
* Web standards and metadata specifications for educational AHS:
- information exchange protocols between educational AHS;
- consistency in standards evolution;
- mappings between existing semantic web and educational
standards;
- educational metadata specification languages.
* Semantic web-based educational AH architectures.
* Real-world systems, case studies and empirical research for semantic
web-based educational AH.
