Abstract

Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of large-scale online education platforms. However, the learning materials provided by online courses are still finite. In this paper, to expand the learning materials on MOOC platforms, we construct an expanded knowledge base named DKG. DKG combines priori knowledge from concept map with extended textual fragments collected from web sources. For the sake of DKG’s quality, we also propose a supervised method with four novel features to evaluate the quality of textual fragments. Finally, we conduct experiments on four online courses. The results show that our method can find good textual fragments efficiently and expand learning materials successfully.
