Abstract

Self-directed learning often finishes with incomplete knowledge. It is hard for learners to be aware of the knowledge incompleteness. The main issue addressed in this paper is how to enhance their awareness. Our approach to this issue is to enable learners to publish knowledge obtained from their learning process to review it. The most important point towards knowledge publishing is how to represent knowledge so that the learners can reflect on it from another perspective. However, such knowledge representation would be troublesome for the learners. This paper discusses how to promote learners’ knowledge publishing by automatically generating a hypertext with TOC (Table Of Contents) as representation of knowledge they have learned in their learning process. Publishing the hypertext enables the learners to gain not only their own reviews but also the reviews from the peers.
