Designing Ontology for Massive Open Online Courses using Protégé

Aimed at the problem of dropout in massive open online courses, this research work addresses the challenges and attributes of attrition. It investigates various factors to increase the effectiveness and efficiency in mooc platforms. The issue is not only interaction with the instructor but the necessity to create a social environment. The semantic web is an elongation of the present web that facilitates the meaning of information rather than syntax of the distinct vocabularies to the people and computers. The fundamental technique of semantic web mining is ontology. We have proposed semantic web mining by designing ontology for mooc platforms that can allow different mooc platforms to interact and create social environment for their users.
