Abstract

E-Learning grows on the fertile soil of the Internet technologies; it fails, however, to reach their full potential. With new, emerging technologies of the second generation Internet there is even more to be captured and adopted: knowledge sharing with blogs, wikis, and social bookmarking services. In this article we argue that those technologies can be adapted to improve user experience in e-Learning; we present an online social bookmarking system called Social Semantic Collaborative Filtering (SSCF). SSCF supports SIOC (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities) metadata which ultimately transforms it in to a browser of blogs, fora, and other community sites. We show how a digital library system, such as JeromeDL, utilising this technology can be used in the e-Learning process, which takes advantage of recent research in the Internet.
