A framework for semantic forum in e-learning education

Establishing an effective online forum is crucial to the success of development and support the creation of collaborative knowledge building community. However there exist some resistance for online forum being as an effective e-learning facility. As such, it is the interest of this research to support this learning facility through semantic technologies adaptation. A conceptual framework is proposed for holistic approach focussing on the development of the knowledge content and how this knowledge can be used by user through semantic forum in e-learning education.
