- The paper is pioneering ontology modelling for curriculum development using module learning outcomes and Bloom’s taxonomy. The approach is advantageous for complex problems within curriculum development as it, for the first time, uses semantic reasoning and knowledge modelling that overcomes the problematic nature of complex, incongruent vocabularies. The model was applied to contextualise new curricula and for intra-course integration within and between year groups. The ontology was adopted for curricula development at Surrey University, shared for development with University of Texas (Dr. Nunez), and selected for keynote at the European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering (Slovenia, 2016).
