STSIM: Semantic-web Based Tool to Student Instruction Monitoring

Abstract

In this article, a tool so-called STSIM is presented. It is able to monitor the student’s progress along learning experiences. This tool, based on semantic web, allows students and teachers to monitor the knowledge student state including, among others, the learning objective state -achieved and not achieved- in different types of activities with psychomotors, cognitives or affective competences, and the efficiency accomplished in activity execution to facilitate the tutor or student the supervision of learning in a more adaptive way according to the individual characteristics and student knowledge state in each moment. To achieve this goal, STSIM uses a flexible student model supported by an ontology network, the Student Ontology. The tool has been developed to be multiplatform, multilingual, based on current and open-source web technology and characterized by its usability. STSIM is built on the UML-based web engineering (UWE) methodology and the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.
