Abstract

One of the main problems facing the development of ontology-aware authoring systems (OAS) is to link well-designed domain-independent knowledge (ontologies) with domain content. Such a problem comes from the fact that all OAS developed to date require end-users (non-experts) to create their own domain ontologies to run the system in real scenarios. In collaborative learning (CL), this problem hinders the development of OAS that aid the design of pedagogically sound CL sessions with strong technological support. In this paper, we propose a framework that connects an ontology for CL (CL ontology) with domain content without the use of domain ontologies. To check its usability, we present an example to model a geometry drawing course demonstrating that it is feasible to instantiate the CL ontology to represent a specific domain and connect it with adequate learning objects.
