Abstract
E-learning is becoming a necessary part of every learning process nowadays, especially when the process involves greater number of students. Different learning activities included in an e-learning enrich the process itself, and improve the learner experience while gaining the knowledge. The new model of on-line collaborative activity for building ontology that we have presented in our previous work is an example of such an activity. It enriches the list of activities, and, at the end, produces ontology for the course domain. Furthermore, we have exposed a complete system that includes the collaborative building of ontology on the domain, as a part of a special course activity, and additionally, uses the produced ontology document as input into our automated system for production of questions for e-testing. Here, we will present the results of the students achieved in the real one-semester experiment conducted at the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering in Skopje, and the students opinions on the activity. The answers to the questionnaire given to the students at the end of the course give deeper insight on the whole activity and the results can be encouraging for many lecturers to use the proposed activity and the system as a whole.
