LEVERAGING OPEN SOURCE E-LEARNING SYSTEMS WITH WEB 2.0 AND KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURES

The paper presents a wiki for creating structured educational content, accessible via a web browser, for defining practical tasks and understanding the measurement instrumentation - which are often necessary in technical universities. It can be used as a complementary aid for open source e-Learning environments, like Moodle. The idea is to allow teachers to create and share an instrument knowledge base and to use and reuse information for configuring on-line lessons related to the laboratory work. The knowledge is structured according to an ontology specific to the measurement instrumentation domain, but teachers are also able to extend it with other concepts.
