SW-EL'04 @ ISWC'04
-------------------------------------------------------
Workshop on
Applications of Semantic Web Technologies for E-learning
in conjunction with ISWC 2004:
International Semantic Web Conference
(7 - 11 November 2004, Hiroshima, Japan)
http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/CFParticipation/workshops.html
---------------------------------------------------------
http://wwwis.win.tue.nl/SW-EL04/swel-iswc.html
---------------------------------------------------------
This workshop will focus on the engineering and application
of Semantic Web technologies and standards for the needs of
e-learning and will discuss issues with respect to various
ways of constructing intelligent courseware and modelling
the learner.
SWEL'04 follows the successful workshop on Concepts and
Ontologies in Web-based Educational Systems, held in
conjunctions with ICCE'02 in Auckland, New Zealand.
---------------------------------------------------------
Workshop Goals
---------------------------------------------------------
- To discuss the current state-of-the-art of the applications
of Semantic Web technologies and standards in Intelligent
Educational Systems and e-learning applications.
- To attract the interest of the related research communities
to the problems in educational Web-based systems and serve
as an international platform for knowledge exchange and
cooperation between researchers.
- To provide feedback to educational and Semantic Web
standardization bodies.
---------------------------------------------------------
Workshop Topics
---------------------------------------------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
* Using ontologies and/or Semantic Web technologies within
e-learning applications:
-- to support authoring of WBES;
-- to achieve better personalization/adaptation in WBES;
-- to achieve interoperability of e-learning applications;
* Using Semantic Web services for:
-- e-learning services;
-- user modelling;
-- WBES authoring;
* Web standards issues for WBES
-- combinations of existing Semantic Web and/or
educational standards;
-- mappings between Semantic Web and educational standards;
-- moving LOM and SCORM closer to the Semantic Web;
-- Role of RDF, OWL or TML as a basis for educational
metadata specification languages;
* Ontology engineering and knowledge representation in WBES;
* Semantic Web-based educational applications architectures.
* Real-world systems, case studies and empirical research for WBES.
The topics can be approached from different perspectives:
theoretical, systems engineering, application, case study,
system evaluation, etc. All contributions are required to state
explicitly in the abstract which topic they are addressing.

Workshop Proceedings
---------------------------------------------------------------
The papers of the workshop will be printed in add-on to the main
conference proceedings. The proceedings will be also made available
online on the workshop web site. Possibilities will be investigated
to publish the best workshop papers in a special issue of a
refereed journal (e.g. JWE, IJCEELL).
