Oilcan, lubricating the way to better learning outcomes

The Canonilo project uses semantic frames (FrameNet) to produce intended learning outcomes (ILOs) in standard forms. These standard forms can be visualised using the SNePS knowledge representation and reasoning software eg

In the course of Canonilo many guidelines have emerged for the production of ILOs that are clear to both human and robot.

Rather than just produce a list of these guidelines, a piece of software is called for, a tool that helps an educator to produce good ILOs.

Enter project Oilcan!

At the very least, Oilcan will be able to save thousands of hours of staff time taken up in development sessions on how to write good ILOs.
