Prototype for the Knowledge Representation Supporting Inter-institutional Knowledge Flow Analysis

Each academic year the changes caused by different knowledge levels of the learners and changing teaching standards in educational institutions create a necessity to make adjustments in the educational process. The learner is an important member of the educational process affected by the knowledge flow between institutions. The learner-acquired knowledge characterizes the teaching result and is an essential criterion for the teaching staff to be able to adapt to the frequently changing learning situations. This chapter identifies potential inter-institutional knowledge flows in the context of educational system. The solution that helps to identify the student knowledge level and provide consistent knowledge flow support is described. The development of the prototype and its role in the educational system is discussed, too. The proposed solution gives an opportunity to overcome the challenges of teaching domain complexity with respect to time and scale dimensions.
