Abstract

The purpose of this study is to support the learning activity in the Internet learning space. In this paper, we examine the GRID technology as the knowledge management for supporting “collaborative learning” / “collaboration in learning” (CL). RAPSODY-EX (REX) is a distributed learning support environment organized as a learning infrastructure. REX can effectively carry out to support collaborative activities in asynchronous/synchronous learning mode. The mixed distributed learning environment is utilized as a new learning ecology, where individual / collaborative learning environment with audio/visual channel (like as a video-conference) are performed on the multimedia communication network. In this mixed distributed learning environment, people can arrange, modify and integrate educational information for the purpose of investigating, decision making, planning, problem solving, building knowledge and self development. Diverse information in the educational context is referred and reused as knowledge which oneself and others can practically utilize. We aim at constructing the growing digital portfolio database for learning knowledge management in Internet environment. In addition, we explore the GRID technology of activating human-interactivity for knowledge mining/discovering.

Highlights

  • The society is changing along with the explosive growth of Internet

  • The learning GRID was constructed by some collaborative applications (Collaborative simulator for the nutrition treatment / the company management/economical control ), some communication tools and the REX as a knowledge marketplace(Kayama 2002-a, Kayama 2002-b)

  • We examine the knowledge management and the knowledge representation of the learning information for the CL support

Summary

Introduction

The society is changing along with the explosive growth of Internet. This growth is so closely, tightly, and widely that everyone even feels the power of the information evolution. Rebuild, stock and reuse the various kind of information It seems that the concept of “e-Learning” gets the citizenship in the society instead of CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction). The transformer of knowledge and the transformee of knowledge communicate with a time lag In such a situation, more positive support is required to realize an effective and efficient learning activity. The thought of GRID technology in e-Learning are introduced, which means conceptual and technical aspects of electronic learning. This concept is being extended toward knowledge GRID, GRID Intelligence, and distributed artificial intelligence for effective knowledge communication/ building/management.
