Abstract

One of the main software engineers’ competencies, solving software problems, is most effectively acquired through an active examination of learning resources and work on real-world examples in small development teams. This obviously indicates a needfor an integration of several existing learning tools and systems in a common collaborative learning environment, as wellas advanced educational services that provide students with right in time advice about learning resources and possible collaborationpartners. In this paper, we present how we developed and applied a common ontological foundation for the integration of differentexisting learning tools and systems in a common learning environment called DEPTHS (Design Patterns Teaching Help System).In addition, we present a set of educational services that leverages semantic rich representation of learning resources andstudents’ interaction data to recommend resource relevant for students’ current learning context.
