Abstract:
Management and effective usage of learning resources is becoming increasingly difficult due to several reasons. Firstly, teachers do not usually have enough time and motivation to compile resources for specific learning course in the unified well-arranged way. Secondly, the internet provides almost limitless amount of information and attracts learners, who however do not have a necessary expertise to distinguish reliable and useful information to the particular topic. This problem is especially pronounced in fields of study, which are continuously evolving, such as medicine or software development, because the knowledge (and learning resources as well) needs to be regularly updated. In this paper we review the existing solutions and then propose a new system, which could deal with this continuous evolvement. Our solution is to create a flexible resource-rich hierarchical learning environment, which supports a collaborative building of learning resources for the specific knowledge dom
ain. Presented knowledge management system is based on the shared hierarchy, user contribution and moderated improvement of learning resources. The ultimate goal of this system is, in addition to making teaching and studying easier and more effective, support of collaborative building of learning resources and enrichment of communities of teachers and students.
