The aim of this paper is describing the SCOMaker, a user friendly authoring tool for the automated production of SCOs, mainly oriented to distance learning and learning object design. It is a freely available open source application to assist teachers and academics in the publishing of web content without the need to become proficient in HTML, XML markup or any other language. SCOMaker can expo...

In this paper we are going to show some specific extensions of the AHA! system developed at Córdoba University. AHA! is an open source general-purpose adaptive hypermedia system. We have developed some extensions in two different AHA! versions in order to increase its adaptation power in elearning. In AHA! version 1.0 we added facilities for managing different students’ knowledge levels and we ...

Introduction This study examines existent and new methods for evaluating the success of information retrieval systems. Performance support systems, knowledge management systems, and meta-data schema such as SCORM, IMS, and IEEE LOM are concerned with finding needed information quickly and effectively, whether that information is a learning object, a performance object, or a knowledge object. Ho...

Avicenna Virtual Campus (AVC) is UNESCO-led, multi-cultural EUMEDIS pilot project. It involves partners from sixteen Euro-Mediterranean states. Each partner contributes through a node called Avicenna Knowledge Centre (AKC), which produces e-courses and e-learning objects. For seek of interoperability, partners setup a pedagogical standard to guide the production process of learning objects. Fur...

This work presents the development of an HTML5 library that allows the building of LO's (Learning Objects) compatible with the SCORM (Shared Content Object Reference Model) standard and the way in which they have been implemented within the “Learning Management, Capture of Experience and Content Repository” (GACER, for its acronym in Spanish) learning platform from the National Institute of Ele...

With the vigorous development of the Internet, e-learning systems have become more and more popular. Currently, to solve the issue of sharing and reusing teaching materials in different e-learning systems, several standard formats, including SCORM, IMS, LOM, AICC etc., have been proposed by international organizations. Among these international standards, the Sharable Content Object Reference M...

This paper shows the creation of the adaptive SCORM sequencing models, taking advantage of the latest developments offered by the artificial intelligence field, to provide the best choice to the student, based in learning objects, using a tutor model in self learning. The Tutor uses decision networks also called influence diagrams, to improve the development of resources and learning materials ...
