In the domain of technology-enhanced competency-based learning and training, there is an increased interest in the integration of competency-related information for supporting competency-driven decision-making purposes. Indeed, since competency development draws upon several related areas, including teaching subjects, instructional design, learning...

In this paper, we present a semantic Web architecture of a competency-based lifelong learning support system which falls within the scope of lifelong learning and attempts to deal with the issue of competency tracking, management, and development in learning networks. In particular, the proposed system aims to track learners’ competencies in learni...

Purpose Since the early 1980s, a paradigm shift, caused by the work undertaken in the field of cognitive psychology, has occurred. This shift is known as the move from teacher-centered instruction to learner-centered or learning-centered instruction, and emphasizes the importance of building new knowledge on previous ones, interacting with peers,...

Over the last century, different learning theories have shaped the world of education and training before shifting to the competency-based approach (CBA). This new paradigm to teaching and learning aims to ensure that every student has to graduate with the competitive competencies of lifelong learners and is ready to enter the workforce and begin f...

The Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle is currently the most popular software solution which provides many modules for various teaching and learning purposes. However, several aspects relevant for competency management are typically missing in Moodle. This paper proposes an ontology-based competency management application which is developed as...

In the context of lifelong learning, learning networks are emerged as alternative and feasible integrated models that merge pedagogical, organizational, and technological perspectives to support and promote the provision of lifelong learning opportunities. Among the significant issues that arise when setting up a learning network is the question of...

With the emergence of the paradigm of Lifelong Learning and the proliferation of the terms "knowledge society", "citizen mobility", or "globalization", competency-based learning and training has known a growing interest in technology-enhanced learning as it provides important benefits for both individuals and organizations by supporting the transfo...

In recent years, several semantic similarity and relatedness measures have been developed and applied in many domains including linguistics, biomedical informatics, GeoInformatics, and Semantic Web. This paper discusses different semantic measures which compute similarity and relatedness scores between concepts based on a knowledge representation m...

For some years, competency-based learning and training has known a growing interest, especially in conjunction with proliferation of the terms "knowledge society", "citizen mobility", or "globalization". Competency modeling becomes an important concept in many domains, especially in human resource development and e-Learning. In this paper, we prese...

Although the extent and the nature of difficulties in learning are more severe for disabled students, non-disabled students may also have similar requirements and want to give them the ability to express preferences about display, control and content. In this paper, we propose using the IMS Accessibility for LIP (ACCLIP) specification to express ac...
