Description

The SWBL environment is a Semantic Web based learning system built around an ontology called OntoExcel developed in Protégé, a pedagogical agent, and a learning object repository. The agent reads the OntoExcel.OWL and LO.RDF files, answers queries through SPARQL, and lists prerequisite and posterior objectives with related learning objects. In the study it covered 5 spreadsheet topics with 74 learning objects created through PowerPoint videos with voice-over and PDF documents.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Internet access for learners to reach the content
• learning objects and objectives defined in the ontology so the agent can list prerequisites

Constraints

• the article notes a dislike theme of necessity for Internet access, with one student unable to benefit due to no connection in the dormitory

Target Learners

• pre-service teachers in an ICT course

Learning Goals

• ICT spreadsheets objectives such as listing process priorities, writing and copying formulas

Claims

• Swbl Higher Ict Achievement Than Traditional Teaching [+M]
• Swbl High Satisfaction Pre Service Teachers [+M]
