Constructing an Immersive Poetry Learning Multimedia Environment using Ontology-based Approach

Abstract

Chinese has a rise in popularity due to the spring up of the Chinese language education. In the poetry of the Tang Dynasty, there is a lot of information in the limited number of Chinese characters. Therefore, how to assist learners in understanding of the background story and emotional feature of poetry is a challenging issue. In this paper, to support the poetry appreciation learning, our idea is to provide the Immersive Poetry Learning with multimedia properties: the Vision such as scenic spot, the Reading with occasional poetry, and the Emotional Reinforcement such as background music. To construct the immersive poetry learning with multimedia environment, the Learning Context ontology, the Poetry Noun Ontology and the Music Emotion ontology are defined to annotate the context information poetry contents and music emotional properties. Thus, the Ontology-based Immersive Poetry Learning system can base on the learner contexts to generate the coherent poetry and music by the ontology mapping.
