Visual Semantic Web.Ontology based E-learning management system

E-Learning is a process in which we use the electronic medium to access the defined set of applications and processes. With its increasing identification and recognition in academic and corporate world, a unique model or framework is required. E-Learning is a critical support mechanism for educational institutions to grow the performance of their students, teachers, as well as useful for organizations to enhance the performance of their employees. Semantic web represents a potential technology for realizing e-Learning requirements Research works in the field of e-Learning are represented by a wide range of applications, ranged from virtual classrooms to remote courses or distance learning. However, studies show that still it demands more effective approach. Ontology is a specification of conceptualization; the object, process, and other entities that are involved in making of the framework for E-learning. This thesis presents the ontology for E-learning process, such as course syllabus, teaching methods, learning activities and learning styles
