Including collaborative learning designs in a Learning Object Repository

A learning object repository (or LOR) is presented as a mechanism which facilitates the organisation and reuse of collaborative learning scenarios, using metadata and ontologies. The main design concern here is making it easy for authors and learners to work with the LOR while creating or using learning environments. Three views of the repository are proposed: a reusable storage structure, a dy...

Accessing A Learning Object Repository Through A Semantic Layer

This paper describes ongoing work on the issue of exploiting a Learning Object Repository, i.e., a large library of learning resources, which incorporates different and often heterogeneous types of objects, to feed activities to a Virtual Learning Community. These objects include re-usable contents that are described by means of metadata. Our proposal leans on an ontology for interpreting the a...

User Centered Design of a Learning Object Repository

This work outlines the design process of a user centered learning object repository. A repository should foster the development and acquisition of both generic and specific informational competencies. The results of the first stage of the user centered design process are presented which provide a clear understanding of user and task requirements and the context of use. A user study was conducte...

Morea: an Open-source Based, Standard-compatible Learning Object Repository

Currently, teachers who opt to use multimedia teaching resources in the classroom have to create them from scratch, or reuse others that they may find on the internet. Learning Object Repositories (LOR) have recently started to be created to facilitate the search and reuse of teaching materials. In this work we describe the final results of a project to establish a LOR for use by the teaching s...
