Abstract

In this paper, we propose a model of semantic annotation suitable for learners. It is used to implement a web annotation tool WebAnnot which enables the learners to annotate their pedagogical documents with graphical and semantic annotations. The annotation semantics is built using both generic and learning domain ontologies. WebAnnot provides two annotation functions: manual and pattern-based ones. WebAnnot is implemented as a Firefox add-on, using semantic web technologies and languages. We present the results of an evaluation study of the proposed model conducted with computer science undergraduate students, regarding their annotation experience using WebAnnot.
