Ontology-Based Recommendation System Using GitHub Classroom and Bookwidget

Abstract

If technology is handled efficiently, every teacher has the opportunity to easily provide education to everyone anywhere, anytime using a radically different technology solution. Nowadays, many tools, technologies, and instructional designs are being invented and implemented to assist the teacher in sharing their knowledge with others. A teacher should be a producer, processor, distributor of knowledge, a guide to the right path, and an active examiner. Therefore, in addition to technological solutions and accessibility, the quality and assessment of e-learning are important issues. The evaluation of e-learning depends on many factors, such as the content of the course, the methodology, the technological environment, the teaching materials, and the participation of both the teacher and the students. It is not clear what knowledge is in itself, however, it is possible to know what abilities a student has mastered with certain tools, and the ontology based on the results of using this tool creates the graph of knowledge about that student. At present, the technology of building ontology is widely studied and used in most fields. Ontological studies in the field of education are mostly used to monitor the interaction of learning objects and to solve problems such as the modeling and enrichment of learning resources, optimal evaluation of learning, and integration of educational content recommendations into student learning methods. In this article, a simple learning environment at a low cost is aimed to be created while still providing high-quality education to the students. To reach that aim, we expanded the GitHub Classroom and Bookwidget systems with other software, constructed an ontology on each student to evaluate the efficiency of the teaching system, and created a graph of each student's understanding.
