Abstract

Learners' interests may be changed through learning activities in their courses. We focus on changes in their interests; we think that this information is useful to monitor learner interests, and modify the lecturers' instructional strategies. Our aim is to establish ontological approaches to reveal these changes. In this paper, we propose a way to collect concept maps and analyze learner interests, and show results of the experiments.
