How does Semantic Web support eLearning?

The key property of the Semantic Web architecture i.e. (common-shared-meaning and machine-processable metadata), enabled by a set of suitable agents, establishes a powerful approach to satisfy the eLearning requirements: efficient, just-in-time and task relevant learning. Learning material is semantically annotated and for a new learning demand it may be easily combined in a new learning course. According to his/her preferences, a user can find and combine useful learning material very easily. The process is based on semantic querying and navigation through learning materials, enabled by the ontological background.
