What does it mean for a student to come to an understanding of a philosophical standpoint
and can the explosion of resources now available on the web support this process,
or is it inclined instead to create more confusion? We believe that a possible answer
to the problem of finding a means through the morass of information on the web to
the philosophical insights it conceals and can be made to reveal lies in the process
of narrative pathway generation. That is, the active linking of resources into a learning
path that contextualizes them with respect to one another. This result can be achieved
only if the content of the resources is indexed, not just their status as a text document,
an image or a video. To this aim, we propose a formal conceptualization of the domain
of philosophy, an ontology that would allow the categorization of resources according
to a series of pre-agreed content descriptors. Within an e-learning scenario, a teacher
could use a tool comprising such an ontology to annotate at various levels of granularity
available philosophical materials, and let the students explore this semantic space
in an unsupervised manner, according to pre-defined narrative pathways. |
