Raymond Yee - The semantic web and education

The semantic web and education #

I've been wondering when there would be much thought given to the application of the semantic web to education. Terry Anderson's talk at Merlot2003 "Beyond Learning Objects: Towards the Educational Semantic Web" as reported by Greg Ritter [link corrected] is the first detailed example I've seen of work in this direction. I was intrigued that people seemed to recognize the chicken-or-egg nature of the semantic web: how to bootstrap such a complex endeavor? If there are no players, who wants to write editing/authoring tools?

(Future writing on the semantic web will be compiled on my wiki.)

Thanks for the link, but for some reason the URL in your entry to my notes from the MERLOT conference session isn't right. Here's the URL:
