Metadata in E-Learning: Automatic Extraction and Reuse
نویسنده
چکیده
The concept of metadata is not new, but currently its use is rather restricted. One of the areas it is actually employed, although usually only to a small extent, is E-Learning. Reasons for this slow adoption are the additional work required for adding it and a lack of applications providing direct advantages to end users. Some approaches to ameliorate both problems are presented in this paper together with applications realizing them: Automatic extraction of metadata from learning resources and the use of metadata to create an index, roadmaps and cross-references between learning units.

Metadata is crucial for reuse of Learning Resources. Only with good metadata, there is a chance that a Learning Resource can be successfully found in a repository. However, many Learning Resources are still delivered with no or little attached metadata. Automatic metadata generation is used to put things right either as assistance for the author, or as part of a repository’s retrieval functiona...

One of the most important components of an e-learning system is the learning material. The popularity of e-learning has led to the development of many learning object repositories that store high quality learning materials specifically created for e-learning. High quality learning materials are expensive to create. So it is very important to ensure reuse of learning materials. Reuse of learning...
