General Architecture Supporting Component-based EIS Interoperability
Full text linkAbstract. Web-based Educational Information Systems (EIS) aim at providing the learner with immediate, on-line access to a broad range of structured information in order to support more efficient educational task performance. Currently, more and more efforts are concentrating on bringing all those systems to work together in order to pro-vide better support within the context of web-based education. Our goal is to approach the problem from a rather practical and somewhat minimalist perspective: to better utilize resources and components of already existing EIS we show how through communication protocols, we can realize a general modular architecture comprising compo-nents that can be shared and interchanged
OWL-OLM : interactive ontology-based elicitation of user models
No full textUser-adaptive systems for the SemanticWeb need approaches for user modeling that work, unlike traditional approaches, under the open-world assumption. A novel framework for eliciting a user’s conceptualization based on an ontology-driven dialog is presented here. It has been integrated in an RDF/OWL-based adaptive semantic-web software architecture for learning content management. We illustrate the implemented framework with an application scenario to deal with the cold start problem and to enable tailoring the system’s behavior to the needs of each individual user

Befriending the darkness: L.M. Montgomery’s lived theodicy in Anne’s House of Dreams
No full textIn Anne’s House of Dreams, which Elizabeth Epperly calls Montgomery’s most philosophical novel, Montgomery delves into painful topics of loss, suicide, bad marriages, ill-timed love, poverty, and the beautiful-terrible consequences of duty. The result is a complex and nuanced consideration of faithful living in the face of unexplainable evil that functions as a lived theodicy in story form.
“I reckon when the darkness is close to us it is a friend. But when we sorter push it away from us—divorce ourselves from it, so to speak, with lantern light—it becomes an enemy.”
—L.M. Montgomery, Captain Jim in Anne’s House of Dream
