The e-Learning community is aiming at having much more
effective services than what is currently provided by any of
the available computer aided tutoring, or learning
management systems. The semantic web technology has the
potentiality to be applied in different areas. E-Learning is one
of the domains which may benefit from this new web
technology. In this paper we design Semantic Web technology
for realizing sophisticated learning scenarios. First we will see
the potential uses of Semantic Web technology in e-Learning,
overview of layers of the Semantic Web architecture and
Metadata in e-Learning. We will see the advantages of using
ontology to describe the learning materials. Also, a conceptual
architecture of Semantic e-Learning portal is presented along
with some related work.
