Ontology-Based Automatic Feedback Design for the Learning Forum

Learning forum, as Web-based education, is a popular research and development domain in educational technology. In recent years, a number of research groups have put a lot of efforts in developing suitable methodologies, approaches, tools, and practical systems to support Web-based education. There were also several introductory and papers covering the ontology or semantic annotation. However, there has been comparatively little research in applying the ontology annotation in learning forum, as the Web-based educational applications. In order to make the Learning forum more reusable, the ontology annotation of post is important. This paper explains the basics of the Ontology Annotation applied in learning forum, at the same time we introduce a model to indicate the process of feedback automatically and building ontology for the learning forum.
