Abstract

This paper introduces the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) project Web-based Knowledge Map (WeKnow) within the SOCRATES action programme of the European Union. WeKnow develops a Knowledge Map for higher education retrieving expert skills and knowledge which will then be presented to university students embedded in a blended-learning concept. The Knowledge Map will correspond to students' new learning styles such as 'discontinued' and 'non-linear' learning behaviour. Teaching of traditional scientific knowledge will be enriched by providing practice-oriented expert knowledge. Both knowledge types are integrated in a semantically structured Knowledge Map which allows the sophisticated retrieval of learning contents and knowledge stocks from a web-based system.
