We present an ongoing experience in the application of UML based testing methodology in an e-Learning environment. In particular, we focus on the interaction of learning objects and Learning Management Systems (LMS). This paper reports the application of the proposed technology for test case generation considering the SCORM specifications as the reference specification.

Dieses Paper soll die Lücke zwischen den Theorien für Lernobjekte und den technischen Realisierungen schließen. Auf Basis gängiger Standards, wie z.B. IMS Content Packaging und SCORM, wird die Entwicklung einer Programmierschnittstelle (API) für Lernobjekte beschrieben. Aus den XML-Bindings der Standards wird ein objektorientiertes Binding für moderne Programmiersprachen abgeleitet. Anhand eine...

The manuscript presents a model for the personalization of e-Learning systems in secondary schools. Approaches are discussed about the implementation of this model by the application of the SCORM-standard, ITL (ITL-Interval and temporal logic), policies, etc. Comments on the possibilities for increasing the relevance of e-Learning systems in the real classroom environment schools are also inclu...

In this paper we describe a SCORM conformant system, named CDLOMAS (Collaborative Distributed Learning Object MAnagement System), which is evolving towards an RCP architecture. The proposed system supports the creation of a community of users which shares and collaboratively creates contents in a highly distributed environment. Artifact management features, such as coordination of cooperative c...

In the last few years, the University of Aveiro, Portugal, has been offering several distance learning courses over the Web, using e-learning platforms. Experience showed that different editions of the same course, using the same contents and structure, and having similar target learners, had different success rates. What would be the reason for that? A hypothesis was considered: The level of s...

Die Verwendung von Lerntechnologiestandards gewinnt maßgeblich an Bedeutung. Standards wie Learning Object Metadata (LOM) oder das Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) tragen zwar zur Interoperabilität von Lernsystemen bei, allerdings werden dabei insbesondere didaktische Aspekte vernachlässigt. Daher wurde ein Ansatz zur Erweiterung dieser Standards entwickelt, der die Beschreibung ...

In the paper we present the methodology used in order to produce accessible and SCORM-compliant courses starting with conceptual design and to deliver them as instructional package in dotLRN accessible platform. This is part of the ALPE project, Accessible Learning Platform for Europe (EC-
