Different types of cooperative technologies can be used to support the process of collaborative knowledge acquisition in a course. In this paper we report our experience with the creation of a FAQ for a computer science course in parallel by using a web forum and a 3D Collaborative Virtual Environment. The results allow comparing these two types of systems, but also raise some more general cons...

intelligence with different meanings. Ontology researching has an important role in computer science and practical applications, especially distributed knowledge systems. In this paper we present an ontology which is called Computational Object Knowledge Base Ontology. It has been used in designing some knowledge base systems for solving problems such as the system that supports studying knowle...
