SBIR Phase I: Personal-Knowledge-Management eLearning System

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目将帮助、支持和鼓励电子学习学生和教师在彼此的技能中找到最适合他们目的的匹配，并找到最好的知识和计划资源，以满足他们直接和特殊的需求。该软件自动从文本材料中提取分类，然后允许自动交叉引用这些材料。因此，分类将提供基于知识管理能力的可扩展和低成本的电子学习支持软件，而不是将知识管理作为附加功能。例如，一个先进的自动分类引擎将提供内容管理，帮助学生找到最好的导师和工作组资源，以满足他们的迫切需求。目前的客户是大学，他们正在寻找经济的方法来满足对流行的国际辅导计划日益增长的需求。这项名为“PERK”的研究计划将以远低于当前市场的成本实现这一扩张。最终的目标是将额外的功能推广到整个电子学习市场，具有目标功能，并且成本低于目前的其他电子学习提供商。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will aid, support, and encourage eLearning students and instructors to find the best matches for their purposes in each other's skills, and to find the best knowledge and program resources to suit their immediate, particular needs. The software automatically extracts taxonomies from textual materials, which then allows those materials to be cross-referenced automatically. Taxonomize thus will provide extensible and low-cost eLearning support software, which is based on knowledge management (KM) capabilities, rather than attaching KM as an added feature. For example, an advanced auto-categorization engine will provide content management to help students find the best resources of tutors and workgroups to match their immediate needs.Current customers are colleges seeking economical ways to meet increasing demands for a popular international tutoring program. The research program, "PerK," will enable this expansion at costs far below current market. Ultimately the goal is to disseminate PerK capabilities into the full eLearning market, with target functionality and at lower cost than other current eLearning providers.
