Ontological model of interaction between educational content and learner in intelligent tutorial system architecture

The article discusses using the educational content in the context of the changed requirements for the educational process. Organization of the modern educational process is analyzed from the point of view of the ecosystem concept, which allows the interaction of biotic (actors) and abiotic components (information technology architecture, standards, and specifications). To describe the use of educational content in the educational information system the university presents an “as-is” model in EPC notation. There have been determined the main promising functions of using educational content for implementation in information technology architecture. Based on a detailed analysis of literary sources, the concept of implementing the intellectual support for using educational content in the context of the architecture of information technologies of the university has been determined. From the perspective of creating a Personal Learning Environment and introducing intelligent means of supporting the educational process, it is proposed to implement two models in the format of ontologies: an educational content model and a learner's model. The educational content model is presented in the form of the Protégé ontology. The classes of ontology, the connections between them, and the data available in the university's information system are briefly characterized. A general approach to integrating such a model into the typical architecture of the university information systems is described for the subsequent development of means of intellectual support for the actors of the educational process (namely, content developers). The UML case model is used to display the approach. When considering integration issues, the experience of using such specifications and standards as LOM IEEE, SCORM, TinCanApi, and the principles of modern learning and content management systems was taken into account. There are described the prospects for further work, general methodology of further research, the first stage of which is the presented work.
