Developing the OntoMath^Edu ecosystem for educational applications

Abstract

In the modern world, remote technologies have gained great popularity and demand. This happened due to the fact that many educational institutions were forced to switch to a distance learning format in response to the epidemiological situation. Kazan Federal University has a distance learning system based on LMS Moodle. As a component of this system for teaching school mathematics, the OntoMathEdu ecosystem is being developed, the main goal of which is to personalize the process of distance learning in school mathematics. The article also describes the generation of some types of tasks in school geometry, based on the structure and concepts of the ontology of the same name, which contains a cross-section of knowledge on planimetry. The types of tasks covered in this article are as follows: theoretical tasks with the choice of the correct answer, an interactive task to restore the relationships between a certain set of ontology concepts, as well as a task to choose a suitable relationship between two concepts. In addition, one of the methods for improving the structure of the ontology is highlighted to further improve the quality of the task generator and other components of the ecosystem.
