Translation of Overlay Models of Student Knowledge for Relative Domains Based on Domain Ontology Mapping.
Abstract
The effectiveness of an adaptive educational system in many
respects depends on the precision of modeling assumptions it makes about a
student. One of the well-known challenges in student modeling is to
adequately assess the initial level of student's knowledge when s/he
starts working with a system. Sometimes potentially handful data are
available as a part of user model from a system used by the student
before. The usage of external user modeling information is troublesome
because of differences in system architecture, knowledge representation,
modeling constraints, etc. In this paper, we argue that the implementation
of underlying knowledge models in a sharable format, as domain ontologies
- along with application of automatic ontology mapping techniques for
model alignment - can help to overcome the .new-user. problem and will
greatly widen opportunities for student model translation. Moreover, it
then becomes possible for systems from relevant domains to rely on
knowledge transfer and reuse those portions of the student models that are
related to overlapping concepts.
