Semantic Web embraces inclusion in learning with enhanced discovery of accessible learning objects
Download as PPT, PDF0 likes386 views
The paper discusses the Semantic Web's potential to promote inclusivity in learning by enhancing the discovery of accessible learning objects. It details components of the vscm module, including a semantic repository and content annotation functionalities aimed at improving accessibility for diverse learners. Additionally, the document highlights the importance of semantic annotation for both learning objects and user profiles to address the varied needs of learners.
