Abstract

Ontologies have emerged as one of the most popular and widely accepted tools in technology enhanced learning supporting, among other things, knowledge representation and learning content creation. In this paper, we describe the development and evaluation of an ontology supported mobile learning application that supports abductive enquiry based learning. This application has been developed for a science content domain and tested with high school science students.
