Abstract
To enable deep learning from a system is not a trivial matter. By including domain context in the construction of the explanations the user is able to reflect on the effects of the knowledge, and not solely on the knowledge in isolation. In addition, in our approach the contextualized knowledge is to be viewed in the context of a particular goal or objective and how any reasoning result is reached in relation to this objective. In this paper we outline context-based explanations and their composition for a sample explanation supporting teachers in developing their own didactical skills.
