A Concept-based Context Modelling System for the Support of Teaching and Learning Activities

The goal of the Concept-based Context Modelling System (CO2) is to facilitate accurate background information resources, and thus assist users in their teaching or learning activities. The presented solution approach is based on the experiences made at IICM with dynamic background libraries (DBLs). Thus, the CO2 can be seen as an enhanced version of our first solution. Users may define relevant concepts and assign them to specific information spaces. Each concept is linked to a specific search query in order to supply learners with context -relevant background information. A service-oriented architecture allows the CO2 to offer reusable, ext ensible and flexible components, transforming the underlying idea towards a multi-purpose system, allowing the modelling of arbitrary contexts (information structures) by means of concepts and their linkage to various search and retrieval services. In practice, the CO2 is applied within the AdeLE and the MISTRAL research projects at IICM.
