Purpose – The aim of this paper is to present an initiative apply the principles Linked Data enhance search and discovery OpenCourseWare (OCW) contents created shared by universities. Design/methodology/approach This a case study how linked data technologies can be applied for enhancement open learning contents. Findings Results presented under umbrella OCW-Universia consortium, as integration access content from different repositories OCW development query method these data, reveal that...

A learning management model highlights the relationship between education, technology and democratization of knowledge. Technology is presented as an essential tool to enhance educational experience expand possibilities access information This article focuses on importance education a relevant social variant in configuration individual collective values, well It addresses media literacy competence for active participation society how formal, non-formal informal play key roles development....

The Linked Data initiative is considered as one of the most effective alternatives for creating global shared information spaces, it has become an interesting approach discovering and enriching open educational resources data, well achieving semantic interoperability re-use between multiple OER repositories. notion refers to a set best practices publishing, sharing interconnecting data in RDF format. Educational repositories managers are, fact, realizing potential using describing,...

In an open and distributed platform as the Web there are problems associated with heterogeneity information overload. this context, teaching community learners may need some support to discover Open Educational Resources best suited for their learning processes. paper, authors propose high-level design of a framework recommendation content in flexible way. order provide personalized set resources, adaptive approach filtering is used according data available each user. To achieve goal, has...

One of the fundamental concepts Open Educational Resources (OER) is "the ability to freely adapt and reuse existing pieces knowledge." The application Semantic Web approach Linked Data technologies Education seeks turn data metadata from open educational repositories into actionable interoperability for improvement discovering, using reusing OER. Interoperability not an end in itself. Instead, optimizing level has societal value as a means others purposes. can have positive impact on...

Open Educational Resources are accessed through the web, whose real setting shows an explosion in use and development of tools services based on Social Software. However, growth this data repository makes it difficult to find information value, reduces possibilities sharing exchanging resources. Using semantic technologies describe educational resources enables any agent (human or software-based) process understand its content (applying inference rules more structured knowledge). Metadata...

Nowadays, text mining is a long studied field in science, the vast amount of resources available has made scientist explore several domains through many different techniques. One main processes are cleaning, reduction and transformation before application classification algorithm. Preprocessing large impact algorithms because an unstructured form data with very number dimensions therefore it can be seen as sparse matrix. These characteristics that make so complex addressed by preprocessing...

Social and semantic web can be complementary approaches searching resources. This cooperative approach lets enable a search engine to find accurate results annotate work develops the components of Social-Semantic architecture proposed by authors open educational resources (OER). By means metadata enrichment logic inference, OER consumers get more precise from general engines. The Search prototype has been applied related with computers engineering in domain provided OpenCourseWare materials...

The arrival of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and the growth open online education - Educational Resources (OER), OpenCourseWare (OCW)- is increasingly focus to self-learners as primary target group. OER movement has tended define "openness" in terms access for use reuse educational materials, address geographical financial barriers, between students, teachers with distinguished institutions. MOOC initiatives emphasize free interactive features rather than static content. dominant...

Resumen: En un entorno abierto como la Web, no es posible estandarizar los procesos de descripción y publicación metadatos, cada institución puede manejar diferentes formatos o modelos datos.Para mejorar interoperabilidad semántica entre repositorios heterogéneos, se están adoptando enfoques basados en tecnologías Web Semántica; esta manera, Librería Digital conservar sus cualidades locales específicas requerirá resignarlas para poder normalizar el intercambio, reuso cosecha recursos...

Teaching and Learning takes place in (or a combination of) different educational environments: classroom, online, or mobile. Blended learning, hybrid is formal program that integrates face-to-face learning with technology-based, digital instruction. On the other hand, Open Educational Resources (OER) provides strategic opportunity to improve quality of education as well facilitate policy dialog, knowledge sharing, capacity building. OERs are actual resources/tools can help enrich any...

Open Educational Practices and Resources are a direct response to privatization of knowledge; they promote their exchange across the world with aim increasing human intellectual capacity. In this document we will discuss Movement notion that knowledge is public good where technology in general, specifically Web 2.0, provide an extraordinary opportunity for people acquire key competences society while share, use, re-use digital contents. We describe function tools services based on Social...

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) promote mass education through collaboration scenarios between participants. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics that can be incorporated into environments such as OpenCourseWare. We develop a study on how concept OCW evolves nowadays: focused distribution open educational resources, towards collaborative massive training (as with MOOC), not all current learning platforms provide. This new generation social will called OCW-S.

The re-use of digital content is an essential part the knowledge-based economy. online accessibility open materials will make possible for teachers, students and self-learners to use them leisure, studies or work. Recent have focused on reuse resources with specific reference data field. Moreover, can be reused - both commercial non-commercial purposes uses such as developing learning educational content, full respect copyright related rights. This work presents a rating system OER proposed....

The access to information is essential learning as much instruction. evolution of the Web, from Web 1.0, where we were consumers information, a 2.0 now are producers and has allowed becomes huge database in constant expansion. In these days published on social media, represented through networks such Facebook, Twitter, name only most prominent. Each media its own scheme operation different working characteristics, ranging length text that can be used, use forms identify topics until reaching...

The rise of Open Educational Resources (OER) in education has allowed the issue quality these resources to be increasingly relevant. OER can defined as and pedagogical materials that reside public domain allow third parties use them freely; under this strategy, open educational progressively integrates practices from formal, informal lifelong learning. purpose paper is present a framework evaluate order promote discovering reusability by users. designed based on three tiers. first tier...

In this paper, we introduce several rubrics to measure a set of collaborative and creativity grading. Rubrics are powerful tools for both teaching - learning assessment. improve communication between teachers students. This work relates the general criteria complexity levels in development competences with concrete indicators associated use Social Web concepts. These have been used assessment particular course related networks.

The contribution of the Massachusetts Institute Technology (MIT), and its initiative OpenCourseWare (OCW), gave access to free course complete material, which is used by teachers in their classes, open for whoever requires teaching, learning research material; this fact got end up with geographic, social cultural barriers. Hundreds universities have joined opened teaching contents students made them available be validated academic pairs worldwide who bet reputation knowledge.
