This is a continuation of my erlier post on education. Its an example of how to use techdriven learningplattforms.
End‐user semantic‐aware applications are, by and large, still in very early
development. One early‐stage application that illustrates some of the potential of
semantic‐aware applications, however, for interest‐driven learning is Twine. Twine is a
social network organized around topics of interest. Members join a “twine” on a
particular topic, like biological evolution, where they can add resources and connect
with others who are interested in the topic. Twine sorts resources into categories based
on the type of information they contain: places, people, organizations, and so on.
Semantic‐aware tools that help users visualize relationships among concepts and ideas
are also just beginning to emerge, including mashups that not only plot data on graphs
or maps, but also emphasize and illustrate conceptual links. For instance, WorldMapper
produces maps that change visually based on the data they represent and could be used
to teach multiple concepts difficult to grasp otherwise. Datascape is an even earlier
stage interactive platform that allows users to overlay geographic space with placebased
informational datasets or multimedia representations using mobile and web
applications.
