Abstract

Ontologies enhance educational processes by structuring knowledge and supporting personalized learning. This study investigates their use in e-learning for generating educational content and test questions within software engineering. We discuss two ontologies: one for educational content creation and the other for test question generation. By integrating these ontologies, we improve the adaptability and effectiveness of both educational resources and assessments, offering a more comprehensive learning experience.
