Formal knowledge representation (KR) is about building models of the world, of a particular domain or a problem, which allow for automatic reasoning and interpretation. Such formal models are called ontologies and can be used to provide formal semantics (i.e., machine-interpretable meaning) to any sort of information: databases, catalogs, documents, web pages, etc. The association of information with such formal models makes the information much amenable to machine processing and interpretation.

Learning doesn't have to be a "loner" experience.

Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky suggested that knowledge is constructed through our interactions with others.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Learning) leverage our inherent social needs by bringing people together to learn the same material in a virtual group. Students can express what they're feeling and experiencing with others in a shared space, making the learning journey more enjoyable and less daunting.

As people gain confidence, they often enjoy friendly competition with fellow learners to push themselves to compete exercises and assignments. Recognition is part of our need for building self-esteem—and some courses have gamification built in to reward student accomplishments and community helpfulness.

This is an interesting intro to social constructionism as it applies to eLearning.  I hope the MOOCs do what they suggest and are not just an attempt to throw jargon out there.
