The success of e-Learning is largely dependent on the impact of its multimedia aided learning content on the learner over the hyper media. The e-Learning portals with different proportion of multimedia elements have different impact on the learner, as there is lack of standardization. The Learning Technology System Architecture (LTSA) Layer 1 deals with the effect of environment on the learner....

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss research that leads to identifying new metadata for learning objects and extending the SCORM standard. Design/methodology/approach – The research involves a questionnaire to collect data from users of e-learning resources and a statistical analysis of that data. The discussion employs concepts from such areas as e-learning, didactics, and statis...

Current E-Learning technologies primarily follow a data and metadata-centric paradigm by providing the learner with composite content containing the learning resources and the learning process description, usually based on specific metadata standards such as ADL SCORM or IMS Learning Design. Due to the design-time binding of learning resources, the actual learning context cannot be considered a...

While nowadays there is a plethora of Learning Content Management Systems, the collaborative, communitybased creation of rich e-learning content is still not sufficiently well supported. Few attempts have been made to apply crowd-sourcing and wiki-approaches for the creation of e-learning content. However, the paradigm is only applied to unstructured, textual content and cannot be used in SCORM...

The general issue of reuse of digital resources, called Learning Objects (LOs), in education is discussed here. Ideas are drawn from software engineering which has long grappled with the reuse problem. Arguments are presented for rapid development methodologies and a corresponding method for generation of online mathematics question banks is described. INTRODUCTION Oscail, National Distance Edu...

This paper describes a prototype of a learning management system we have developed following the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) by the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative. The system is able to deliver the learning objects composing a course either by following the organization defined in the course’s manifesto, or by dynamically choosing the sequence in which the learning...
