description

Over the last decade, following the rapid progress of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and directly linked to the requirements of the Information Society, Web-based education has turned into an essential branch of educational technology. Although the traditional educational systems continue to improve, the gradual transition to Semantic Web, that is currently taking place, facilitates the emergence of new opportunities for improving the quality of educational processes. The distributed instruction, the explosive expansion of social networks and the significant increase in the number of mobile users represent phenomena that have led to new trends in the evolution of educational technology. Currently, the emphasis on content and collaboration increased, the aim being to provide the learners with the possibility to generate content and share it with each other. The aim of the present paper is to present an overview on the directions of educational systems development, guided by Semantic Web potential, standards and facilities.
