Som e thoughts on the possible benefits of using VirLaBoK for GI teaching design and GI course finding

06 July 2016, Frans I. Rip

SLIDE 2

Triggers for the ‘thoughts’?

Triggers

GI-N2K wp1 results (supply vs. demand of GI teaching):
Un-harmonized GI course descriptions (supply side)

and learning needs (demand side)

Little awareness of GI Body of Knowledge
BoKOnto version of GI Body of Knowledge created in US
Looking for a course about Linked Data basics: not easy
Data Quality, fitness-for-use perspective: tell me what I

need to know

Existence of Booking.com for hotel accommodation:

applicable to teaching offers?

SLIDE 3

My objective

Make it easier to find GI teaching offers
Promote the use of a standard to describe GI-teaching to

improve comparability

Promote a tool for that: the Curriculum Design Tool
Support the EU objective to look abroad for learning

SLIDE 4

Idea: GI course portal website

If: Wide use of Curriculum Design Tool
Then: Many harmonized GI course descriptions
If also mentioned for each course:
Language(s) of instruction
E-learning available ( e.g. MOOC)
Organisational details (e.g. ECTS, EQF

, fee, timetable)

Then: Teaching offers might attract participants from

abroad

All this could be presented on a portal website

SLIDE 5

Example

Good

enough?

SLIDE 6

Questions

Exam ple good enough?

Organisational aspects: present
Course content description: No use of GI BoK concepts
Completeness: limited (focus seems to be on oil

exploration domain, Salzburg GI teaching not mentioned)

So: Example is not yet perfect for the GI domain. Assuming the query was OK, the data must be the problem

Better data

W hich details of any teaching offer does GI need? 2 reference models are relevant:

For organisational aspects: Metadata for Learning

Opportunities

For GI domain content: GI-BoK, latest version
