Abstract :
Educational services exchange today involves many complex combinations of both codified and tacit knowledge. In the course of curriculum evolution, to easy understanding of tacit knowledge of curriculum (such as the generic structure of curriculum) and to track its evolutionary history, we have proposed an Evolutionary Curricula Model and built an ontology to represent evolutionary process of curriculum. In this paper, we present an architectural framework of Ontology-aware Course Consulting system (On2C). Central to the On2C framework is the design and development of a Curriculum Ontology that facilitates dynamic visualization of evolutionary curricula model for collaboration amongst multiple stakeholders and different individual needs in the context of curricula evolution.
