Development of ontological approach in e-learning when studying information technologies

The results of the studies, directed toward the development of methods and models of the ontologically controlled e-courses on the basis of ontologies of the set of subject disciplines, mechanisms of ontologic management and the architecture of the system of the automated construction of courses, were presentedThe possibilities of ontological approach to electronic learning were analyzed. It was shown, that the ontological knowlwdge bases are one of the components of innovative technologies in e-learning and can become a basis for developing effective e-courses in different disciplines and specialitiesIt was shown that the ontological approach to development of e-courses, on condition of automation of this process, ensures the reduction of costs for their creation and enhances the result of learning.The concept of developing the ontologically managed e-courses, which includes the use of methodology of e-courses synthesis on the basis of ontologies of subject disciplines and the library of reference information, was developed. There was demonstrated an example of creation of the ontologically controlled e-course on the discipline “Data bases” with the help of the program of compiling ontograhs and automated construction of e-courses developed in Java language. The process of developing e-courses on the basis of its information and functional models was demonstrated. It was shown, that a high degree of formalization and structurization of ontology of subject discipline as well as the integrated ontological approach to the innovative methods of e-learning can serve as a platform for creating effective e-courses in the system of higher education.
