TL;DRAbstract

Intelligent information handling support is crucial for the efficiency of web-based learning. This paper presents an approach to information handling, which implies conceptual support for both learners and instructors engaged in openlearning and teaching tasks in a web-based course support environment. The proposed approach combines two powerful techniques to support web-based course learning information retrieval and concept mapping. It involves conceptualisation of the subject domain and representation of the domain structure in an ontological way by a concept map, which is used for knowledge classification and indexing and allows for efficient information search. In addition, it includes strong visual presentation and graphical navigation of the subject domain and information search results and supports adaptive matching of the presentation to particular learners. AIMS an intelligent tool for task-based information handling support in web-based learning/training/work environments de
