Ad-hoc Composition of Distributed Learning Objects using Active XML

by Werner Wetzlinger, Andreas Auinger, Christian Stary
International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET)* Vol 3, No 3 (2008)

Abstract

As digital content in the form of learning objects allows the assembling of learning material on the fly,developers and users strive to aggregate learning objects from different origins to coherent learning units in a consistent way, including graphical and navigational design. Such content elements that rely in distributed repositories require metadata for advanced search functionality to identify learning objects that fit learner’s needs. Furthermore, the content has to fulfill the requirements of a standardized content structure to allow the integration and composition of learning objects to new learning material. In addition, a technology to connect the distributed repositories and exchange metadata and content is needed. In this paper we propose a system for ad-hoc learning object composition. It allows the linking of distributed repositories of learning content management systems (LMCSs), searching, requesting and retrieving learning objects, adapting them to the local LCMS, and finally, integrating the retrieved objects into a new learning material. Thus, our technology is able to query XML encoded metadata of learning objects and to transmit their content within a distributed peer-topeer environment.

Individual Online Tutoring

Elearning: A personal tutor on the computer? by Dick Moore

"Imagine a human tutor supporting and augmenting a tailored package of interactive training, which responds to the individual needs and experiences of a particular learner. And then imagine it could be delivered by computer, or a next generation mobile phone or on a PDA. Fanciful? No, the software and hardware already exists.."
