Computer Science (31)This project uses the new ISO standard for organizing, retrieving, and interchanging semantic information on the Web, Topic Maps, for developing e-learning courseware in computer science. Specifically, the project is developing subject ontologies for four modules of undergraduate Computer Science courses, using them to create comprehensive Topic Maps-based learning materials, and utilizing the developed materials in Web-assisted courses to assess their impact on student learning. The project is proving that a concept-based organization is an efficient form of structuring digital learning content in STEM disciplines and especially in Computer Science, as well as proving that Topic Maps technology is suitable for developing efficiently searchable and reusable educational materials on the Web. The topic map editor and viewer are available through the NSDL and the project is developing workshops for persons who want to develop their own topic-map based software.The project's intellectual merit lies in concept-based organization of educational materials, providing grounds for improving students' learning in STEM disciplines by supporting topic-aware content browsing and context-based information retrieval. The developed Topic Maps-based Computer Science modules will serve as a model of ontology-driven courseware.The project's broader impacts on courseware developers comes from promoting the application of ontologies for e-learning and using the new Topic Maps standard, and on learners, by developing courseware that provides guidance in self-exploration and task-related information search, especially for students with difficulties in conceptual understanding and reasoning.

计算机科学（31）该项目使用新的ISO标准来组织，检索和互换网络上的语义信息，主题图，用于开发计算机科学中的电子学习课程。具体而言，该项目正在为四个本科计算机科学课程的四个模块开发主题本体，并使用它们来创建基于主题地图的全面学习材料，并在网络辅助课程中利用开发的材料来评估其对学生学习的影响。该项目证明，基于概念的组织是在STEM学科，尤其是计算机科学中构建数字学习内容的有效形式，并且证明了主题地图技术适合在网络上开发有效搜索和可重复使用的教育材料。主题图编辑器和查看器可通过NSDL获得，该项目正在为希望开发自己的基于主题图的软件的人员开发研讨会。该项目的知识分子在于基于概念的教育材料的组织组织，从而为学生提供基于学生在STEM学科中的学习为基础，通过支持主题意识到的内容内容浏览和上下文信息回顾。开发的基于主题图的计算机科学模块将作为本体驱动的课程软件的模型。该项目对课件开发人员的广泛影响来自促进本体论在电子学习中的应用，并使用新主题地图标准以及对学习者的新主题地图标准，通过开发课程来开发在自我阐明和任务信息搜索方面提供指导的指导，尤其是对概念和理解的学生，尤其是为了理解困难的学生，并且是对概念的理解。
