IDENTIFICATION OF ONTOLOGY BASED LEARNING OBJECT USING INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

The success of e-Learning course material [12,18] is based on the pedagogical principles. Few of the principles are curriculum design with specific objectives, consideration of different social groups, learner engagement, ease of use, and ensure the acquisition of learning objectives with formative and summative assessment. But due to over-focusing on technology and dissemination of content, the educational pedagogy is less considered which insists on learner-centric guidelines [1,13,14] for developing Learning Content Management System (LCMS). The characteristics of semantic web is based on ontologies; which enable the organization of learning materials around small pieces of semantically enriched learning objects (LO). The research aims on ontology based approach of identifying such learning objects; which combines educational pedagogy and information technology through Instructional Design (ID).
