Adaptivity plays a central role for Web-based assistance to work and training processes. In the last decade, learning and work systems have evolved, from single-user sequential...

This chapter states and explains that a Learning Design is the result of a knowledge engineering process where knowledge and competencies, learning design, media and delivery...

Instructional Engineering has been presented in chapter 8 and in (Paquette 2004) as a method integrating principles and processes from Instructional Design, Software Engineering...

How can we make the Web more useful, more intelligent, and more knowledge intensive to fulfill our demanding learning and working needs? Visual Knowledge Modeling for Semantic...

The invention of writing more than 6,000 years in Mesopotamia is a recent phenomenon in human history. In the few million years that preceded this event, knowledge was passed on...

In this chapter, we present a visual knowledge representation method that can be used by software designers to construct a learning system or task support system. The Modeling...

With only a few object and link types, it is possible to construct representations of complex knowledge systems such as the taxonomies, theories, processes, or methodologies used...

In the previous chapters, we emphasized the “what” and “why” dimensions of knowledge modeling. In this chapter, we will focus on the “how” dimension. We will first present MOT+...

A search on the Internet shows the renewed importance given to competency-based approaches in Education and Administration. Ministries of education, school boards, and teacher...

The aim of this chapter is to define what we call “generic skills,” i.e. structured sets of intellectual actions, attitudes, values, and principles that are at the heart of human...

As mentioned in the previous chapter, research in cognitive science, cognitive engineering, and education all support the idea that human skills can be described as generic...

In this chapter, we concentrate on a very interesting type of model: multi-actor processes. These processes can be found in all domains of human activity, particularly to...

In this chapter, we will present further applications of the notions of generic skill and competency developed in the previous chapters. The first of these applications is to...

The exponential growth of information available on the Internet makes it increasingly necessary to introduce intelligent agents to facilitate the processing of information and...

Evolution is a fundamental requirement for useful ontologies. Knowledge evolves continuously in all fields of knowledge due to the progress in research and applications. Because...

This chapter focuses on the quality of instructional scenarios. An instructional scenario is a particular kind of aggregated resources composed of learning objects (LO) or...

The topic of Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) has become very important in industry and research in the last 10 years (Allen & Frost 1998; Object Management Group...

Ontological engineering is a methodology that proposes various processes for constructing ontologies (Corcho, Fernández-López, & Gómez- Pérez, 2006; Davies, Fensel, & Harmelen...

Between 2003 and 2008, within the LORNET research network (www.lornet.org), our team has been designing and developing TELOS, an innovative operation system for eLearning and...

Instructional Engineering has been presented in chapter 8 and in (Paquette 2004) as a method integrating principles and processes from Instructional Design, Software Engineering...

The deployment processes of a new technology or a methodology like Instructional Engineering is crucial if we want R&D results and products to reach end users with innovative...

Knowledge Management has become in recent years a concern of most major organizations. Already, in 2002, a survey by the US Conference Board and the American Management...

In this concluding chapter, we will give examples where visual modelling techniques have been used in actual research projects. Visual Modelling is particularly useful to the...

This chapter summarizes the work on instructional engineering and educational modeling accomplished since 1992 at the LICEF Research Center of Télé-université by the researchers...

This chapter states and explains that a Learning Design is the result of a knowledge engineering process where knowledge and competencies, learning design, media and delivery...
