Talk I gave at WISM’09-AICI'09 (2009 International Conference on Web Information Systems and Mining and the 2009 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Computational Intelligence) where I describe research opportunities offered by today's Web 2.0 and Semantic Web.
20. Opportunities: -access to huge amounts of data useful for learning process; -analyze user generated content, e.g., to make estimations about their knowledge/competencies; -finding/combining services and combining to train specific skills.
26. OpenID: decentralized single-sign-on mechanism OAUTH: information exchange between services OpenSocial: APIs for common functionality for social applications
27. Information about user: Attention Profiling Markup Language (APML) Location data: Google Gears, Firefox
28. Amazing amounts of data about user available Opportunity: use this data for personalization
43. Opportunities: - Semantic Content and Semantics for free enable amazing possibilities: improved quality of service, better categorization, recommendation, automatic linking with other resources, etc.
53. Ground breaking services and data have now become basic commodity By building upon them, research in Technology-Enhanced Learning can tackle more meaningful problems
