Abstract
In the scientific literature, educational technology is often criticised as not being always optimised for effective teaching, as mostly technology-driven, not derived from knowledge as the basic key element of teaching. In this context, teaching is a typical knowledge-based process, which requires to deliver a concentrated educational knowledge within strictly limited time. Although digital technology should be knowledge-driven, a computer does not know what knowledge or educational knowledge is. An interdisciplinary definition of knowledge does not exist. Within the long-term research under an umbrella of technology-enhanced learning, this problem was solved by design of universal knowledge representation. This representation, so called- ‘virtual knowledge’, is both machine-readable and human-readable. It enables an individual user (teacher, student) to construct, transmit and share educational knowledge and content using all-in-one educational software in a user-friendly way and without a need of specific computer skills. This paper explains the essence of the design of the knowledge-based educational technology, which is based on the virtual knowledge and development of the educational software that enables the batch-based knowledge processing using the virtual knowledge and transfer of educational content through a shared infrastructure. The infrastructure consists of a combination of off-line (teacher’s computers, classroom computers) and online (clouds, virtual machines) environments. The following sections present the use of the educational knowledge tables and modelling the educational packages and language corpora to support writing scientific articles to explain a way of the knowledge-based educational design.
