ABSTRACT
Given the increasing attention that learning semantics is receiving both in the academic and industry domains, this entry aims at clarifying the role of related technologies, by presenting their opportunities for all the involved actors, i.e., learners, teachers, institutions, and employers. The entry proceeds by first analyzing the changes that affected learning during the last 25 years, thus identifying the role of semantics. Then, the main steps required for the development of a semantic system will be presented, by considering how to implement them in the learning and labor worlds. Finally, application possibilities and associated benefits will be discussed, together with threats and possible solutions.
