Abstract

Innovation in technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is constantly evolving, and social media, MOOCs and big data are some of the technologies improving education through cloud environments. A cloud education environment (CEE) uses external cloud-based applications for learning activities. This paper will explore on technical interoperability using a semantic web solution for cloud-based tools (CBT) in an educational setting. It will focus on the use case of online document editors for learning activities and present a proposed generic ontology for interoperability of online document editor tools. This work describes a proposal using Web APIs for integration and interoperability. The focus of this paper is to provide a description of the common characteristics of online document editor tools, such as their resources, operations, and properties, which will create a definition of a generic vocabulary for further interoperability.
