Interactive Learning Environments Special Issue on "Semantic Technologies for Multimedia-enhanced Learning Environments"
Call for papers
The availability of metadata based on the Semantic Web technologies is recognized as a key asset that enables aggregation, provisioning, retrieval, reusability, adaptation, and personalization of (educational) multimedia content. In learning environments, Semantic Web technologies can integrate data about learning objects, learning activities and learners captured from various e-learning systems and tools. This inevitably brings multimedia-enhanced learning environments to increased levels of interaction and collaboration. Today, we are living in the era of the proliferating use of Web 2.0 approaches (e.g. collaborative tagging, social networking, mash-ups, blogs, and Wikis) that are usually based on lightweight semantics and represented in the form of 'folksonomies'. Despite the initial perception that Web 2.0 opposes to the Semantic Web, these two efforts are being jointly used to create a common space of semantic technologies. This special issue solicits papers focused on the use of semantic technologies in multimedia-enhanced learning environments. Submissions are invited on topics that include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Ontologies and semantic annotations for multimedia learning objects * Collaborative tagging and folksonomies for multimedia learning objects * Semantic social networking in multimedia-based learning environments * Semantic technologies for enabling pedagogical theories in multimedia-enhanced learning environments * Semantic-enhanced learning designs in multimedia-enhanced learning * Semantic technologies for personalization and adaptation of multimedia-enhanced learning * Semantic-rich service-oriented architectures for multimedia learning environments * Semantic multimedia content for (collaborative) mobile learning
