| Abstract | Despite the progress of ICT, the level of its integration into education is not satisfactorily resolved. A criticism is technocentrism, which results in the fact that teachers and researchers must adapt to the technology and not vice versa. In this context, multi-purpose software tools with longer life cycles are missing, as are personalized solutions where the technology is better adapted to teaching needs, and the user does not see any boundaries between off-line and online environments. In the framework of long-term research aimed at automating the knowledge-based processes, the authors have developed a specific paradigm based on the virtual knowledge unit (vKWU), which works as a knowledge representation. This specific data structure is controlled by own in-house software WPad (written by the main author of this paper) which enables batch processing, management and transfer of human knowledge that is inserted by the user into the vKWU in natural language. Because this vKWU is both human-readable and machine-readable, it allows the authors to solve the automation of knowledge-based processes and to model educational software as an all-in-one tool, and to simulate the individual's mental processes by using a personalized infrastructure (online/off-line). Such a solution eliminates the aforementioned shortcomings, thereby distinguishing it from the state-of-the-art, which requires combining several software in order to achieve the same output. The authors believe that their approach is beyond the state-of-the-art, because the educational content and processes are isomorphically connected with the technology by the associated virtual-human knowledge, and the WPad works as a black box. The paper describes the key milestones of their research and the current focus of their research. This is aimed at creating a combined infrastructure using clouds, virtual machines and off-line computers, and testing the transfer of knowledge for educational and collaborative applications within the V4+ACARDC project. |
