| Abstract |
This paper presents a representation methodology of architectural knowledge with regard to the implementation of e-Learning system. As the need for the e-Learning is ever increasing in architectural education, current implementations are limited in many respects. It is mainly because the current applications are only to transfer the traditional learning content to the electronic media. In order to address this problem, this research presents a methodology of building learning contents based on semantic web paradigm. The method should provide the e-Learning environment with the semantically rich and highly associative knowledge network. Thus, very flexible and intelligent way of learning in architectural education would be supported unless otherwise impossible. RDF is employed among possible tools to represent the complicated relationships among historical facts and architectural knowledge.
This paper introduces the theoretical background of the learning content network, and learning design in general. technical aspects of the RDF is also introduced. Then, design process of the learning contents network is described. An application is presented in architectural learning domain focusing on its learning content design.
This research will provide a meaningful foundation for the design of e-Learning in architectural education which is becoming a standard of overall education domain. |
