Automatic Course Planning System Using Rule-Based Ontological Knowledge Base

Abstract

This research presents how ontology combined with semantic rules can be used to develop an automatic planning system. The question is how to match a course plan for students in a class, because there are various types of students causing many problems in studying such as the different students’ preferred learning path and the different students’ skills in a class. Therefore, the ontology and semantic rule-based in this research are recommended to be utilized to solve the problems. There are three objectives of this study including creating the ontology to represent the conceptual knowledge for describing the relationship between information in the example courses, developing semantic rules combined with proposed ontology and students’ basic information and developing the prototype system using the proposed ontology and semantic rules in order to evaluate this approach.
