Abstract:
Higher Education Institutions (HEI) are faced with a number of challenges in these days: The sector is becoming more competitive and the education profile need to become more dynamic: the amount if knowledge is ever increasing and – especially in the technical subjects – knowledge is out-dating fast and new knowledge is emerging. As a consequence, the education system in HEI needs to become more agile and more modular. The current situation is reflected upon the VUCA paradigm and some solutions will be proposed to address those challenges. As education programs are carefully crafted in a manual but unstructured way, this contribution suggests the support by a scaffolding of semantic structures that helps to create connected, modular education items that can be used as Pre-built information spaces for learning environments. The main contribution of this paper is a concept of a simple and universal model to structure learning outcomes in a more structured form in order to create a foundation for a better understanding for human users and machines alike.
