Towards Accessibility in Education. An Ontology based approach (2021)

Abstract

As the world changes, so does the future of our students. In this respect, the evolution of the technology comes up with specific environments for educational purpose. Building smart learning environments supported by e-learning platforms is an important area of research in education domain within our days. The evolution of these smart learning environments is justified by some events (Covid19) that force students to learn remotely.

The paper proposes a formalisation using ontology for providing an inclusive approach of universities’ websites, having as instance a software application component using Alexa smart speaker, that currently remains at a design level, which integrates different services (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Services) for a proper virtual environment platform, for both students and teachers. It addresses the main concerns of the current educational system and provides a smart solution through the use of Artificial Intelligence based tools. The proposed approach not only achieves unifying data and knowledge-share mechanisms in a remotely mode, but it brings also a good learning experience, increasing the effectiveness and the efficiency of the learning process.
