Development of a Theory-Aware Authoring Workbench

随着现代技术的进步以及相关领域的最新发现，计算机辅助知识系统化/组织越来越受欢迎。特别是，在计算机辅助学习（技术增强学习）社区中，学习和教学理论的系统化被高度期望，在这些社区中，专业知识和理论的流畅转移被强烈要求给开发学习支持系统的实践者，以提高他们的质量。本研究的主要目的是利用本体论工程开发一个理论感知的创作平台，通过该平台，学习/教学理论在一定程度上被系统化。总结了四年来的研究成果：(1)本体工程基础理论的发展和技术的增强；(2)强大的本体开发环境；Hozo已经开发了(3)学习/教学理论的本体开发(4)理论感知创作工作台原型的开发(5)基于本体的学习支持系统。我们还研究了通过解决理论的“前瞻性方面”，将这些成果推广为多种知识系统化的多用途技术的可能性。总之，我们相信我们已经做出了合理的贡献，通过改进本体工程，填补了技术增强学习的理论家和实践者之间的差距。

Computer-aided knowledge systematization/organization has become more and more popular with the advancement of the modern technology as well as the latest findings in the related areas. Especially, systematization of learning and instructional theories are highly expected in Computer-assisted learning(Technology-enhanced learning) communities where fluent transfer of the expertise and theories to practitioners who develop learning support systems is strongly required to improve their quality. The main objective of this research is to develop a theory-aware authoring workbench using ontological engineering through which learning/instructional theories have been systematized to some extent. The achievements of this four-year research are summarized as follows :(1) Development of fundamental theories and augmentation of techniques of ontological engineering(2) A powerful ontology development environment, Hozo has been developed(3) Ontology development of learning/instructional theories(4) Development of a prototype of a theory-aware authoring workbench(5) Ontology-based learning support systemsWe have also investigated the possibilities of generalization of the achievements into multi-purpose technology for systematization of various knowledge by tackling the "prospective aspects" of theories. In summary, we believe we have made a reasonable contribution to filling the gap between theorists and practitioners in technology-enhanced learning through refinement of ontological engineering.
