This thesis aims to develop an ontology for recording semantic learning trajectories of students. The purpose of recording learning trajectories is to provide information about the students’ route during the learning process or their route in learning at the various levels of education. Consequently the ontology provide collateral information for the assessment of curricula, the modification of the assessment of students, the composition of reports about the trajectory of the students during a learning process, the development of learning designs, and the smooth integration of specific groups of trainees such as immigrants.
The ontology not only can record the learning trajectories, but also imprint the predesigned trajectory of a student by recording his sequence of actions as suggested by the learning design to be followed.
In this thesis, the ontology was used for recording the learning trajectories of students who attended an online course. Specifically, the learning trajectories of the students were recorded in order to evaluate the course, so we created reports about how they achieved the goals of the course and recorded the actions that had an impact on their trajectory. Furthermore, we compare the learning trajectories of two students so as to contrast their trajectory with their learning results. After recording the learning trajectories of students through queries written in SPARQL, in the Protégé ontology editor, we notice that the ontology can successfully give answers to these questions.
Finally, this ontology can be expanded at its various levels in order to broaden the field of its use or to connect it with already existing ontologies that concern its vocabulary and its structure, such as the profile of the students, the learning objects, the learning designs and the goals or the standards of analytical programs.
