Abstract
By combining properties of Wikis with Semantic Web technologies, Semantic Wikis emerged with semantic enhancements. Based upon Semantic Wiki, this paper designs and develops an online course integrated with face-to-face instruction to support hybrid learning. Compared with general online courses, the course has three outstanding features. First, taken the learning object as the basic building blocks, the course organizes learning content in a structured, coherent and flexible way. Second, it motivates learners to be actively engaged in the collaborative learning process by allowing convenient course authoring, editing as well as adequate interaction. Third, it enables smart resource accessing with the provision of intelligent facilities, such as semantic search, relational navigation, course management, etc.
