Specialized Knowledge Systems – A Model for Intelligent Learning Management within Organizations

  • Conference paper
Advances in Information Systems and Technologies

Abstract

This paper presents an insight of the perspectives and potentialities that may arise from the use of tools based on semantic technology, for an autonomous management of the learning and the knowledge produced within organizations. Thus, the conceptual basis of a model for the development of knowledge systems will be presented, oriented for an intelligent learning management. The scope of application of this model is software houses. Its main function is to support specialized training having as basis the use of contents adjusted to particular needs. The pillars of its functioning are essentially based on the use of semantic technologies and the dynamic self-regulation of its contents. Similarly, and bearing in mind the importance of learning theories for the scope of this study, we will include an approach to the connectivist theory, in order to better understand behavior and trends influencing learning and pedagogical processes in the digital era.
