Description/Abstract

We propose in this paper a semantic web driven learning management architecture that supports collaborative learning, i.e., learning by reusing, sharing experience and building knowledge together within a particular domain. We address different phases of the development in line with the knowledge life cycle, from ontology building to learning experience management and reuse of semantics for social network analysis in learning. We also describe an Ontology-Driven WSDL-First (ODWF) hybrid implementation strategy to realize the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and exploit power of the semantic web technology. We give scenarios in which the system can be used to assist collaborative learning in different domains through learning experience sharing and knowledge construction.
