SUPPORTING LEARNING-BY-DOING SITUATIONS BY SEMANTIC TECHNOLOGIES

The paper deals with the organisation of specific learning by-doing activities by learner's authoring of analytical materials. These 'learning-by-authoring' activities are facilitated by semantic technologies to support the learners in the access and filtration of appropriate information objects and their subsequent analysis during the authoring process. The discussed framework for a TEL environment is experimented in a concrete domain - Bulgarian Iconography with educational uses in a set of humanitarian disciplines. The paper discusses briefly the information support for the learners, based on domain ontological modelling, in development of dedicated multimedia collection for analysis and in adequacy evaluation of the selected representative subset of objects. An example of a concrete learning task is presented.
