2. Background works
In MIEM before me:
Ontology based electronic practice book for
Smalltalk-80 && Prolog for internal usage
My project:
Design of the Semantic Web driven electronic
practice book for Smalltalk Squeak
My graduate paper topic first thought:
Semantic Web driven
e-learing system
for object-oriented paradigm

3. Possible two directions
1. To build SW-based plugin for Moodle to help
moodle-folks semi-automatic navigate &
control their course storagies
2. To create my own domain ontology for OOP
linked with my system of practical tasks
which reveal the issues of an OO paradigm
good enough 2

4. I
SW-based plugin for Moodle
for semi-automatic navigate &
control their course storagies

5. The problem
1. Moodle is one of the most popular LMS in
Russia
2. People may use it (it’s a proved fact) to store
over 100 different courses
3. Moodle has a lack tools to effectively control
such groups of this courses
4. The most part of the educational content
created by the teachers and students
5. No SCORM, only internal moodle format

6. Moodle internal data
•Taxonomy
•Lecture
•Quiz

8. Summary about this Moodle extention
• It requested by several educational
institutions
• The problem is specific & local
• Some possibilities to write an guide and get
more markuped educational content to work
with (something that already created but not
shared)

9. II
my own domain ontology for
OOP &&
some system of practical tasks

10. Yet another OOP educational content?

13. Ontology decomposition
11

14. Partonomy snippets (on russian)
knowledges
skills
Domain terms
12
Near 75 nodes for now

15. Summary about this
educational ontology
1. New good stuff for the LOD and other SW-based
educational projects
2. Reusable set of domain specific practical
tasks
3. Competency-based approach (main stream
for The Ministry of Education and sciense of
Russia)
4. Possibility for trying some adaptive
approaches
(Bloom taxonomy, Felder-Silverman learning
styles) 10

16. Summary
• This two different directions or this research
with a little hope to be joined in the future
• Some designs of domain ontology
• Definition of some specific but important
problem for our russian e-learning
