Abstract

In this article, we make the case for widgets as an appropriate vehicle for interacting with the Web of Data in learning applications and materials. In the article, an attempt is made to define and exemplify the concept of semantic widgets for learning (SW4L) and to suggest how such educational software may be exposed and utilized in the Web of Data. As an example of SW4L, we mention widgets operating on semantic learning content marked up using the web vocabulary of schema.org and illustrate how they may be designed to support instructional guidelines advocating the use of visual aids in learning materials.
