Abstract:

The use of web technologies in the jobs of training leads to the emergence of new learning approaches. However, the success of the approaches depends on their capacity to be provided with courses adapted to learners’ intentions and learners’ profiles. The aim of this research work is to propose a service-oriented approach ; pedagogical services provide learning process chunks to satisfy pedagogical objectives. By dynamically composing services, a Learning process can be generated according to a learner’s intention and a learning context. The POPS approach (Process-Oriented Pedagogical Services) is a conceptual framework which provides both a service model for pedagogical services design and a services composition process for generating personalized learning processes. The Framework also defines ontology on the education subject and ontology on pedagogical engineering. These ontologies, on the one hand, support services specification and, on the other hand, facilitate services discovery and composition. An illustration of the approach concerns UML teaching in the context of a projet of e-learning.
