five years. The workshop will welcome papers from all sectors of the
ITS and AI-ED community, as well as report on LORNET research results.
THEMES
The themes are not limited to but
include the following:
Ontology modeling tools and methods
Ontology-based learner interaction design, techniques, and
analysis
Recommender and assistance systems for resource selection
Personalization tools and applications
Extending folksonomies beyond taxonomies
User knowledge and competency modeling
Ontology-based ePortfolios
Data mining and pattern recognition for knowledge extraction
Standardization and user-centered deployment
