DiLight: a Digital Library based E-Learning Environment for Learning Digital Libraries

چکیده
Digital library (DL) increasingly becomes an important learning topic for training librarians and information specialists. However, due to many perspectives, models, and activities developed in DL field, it is difficult for students to develop an initial clear understanding of DL. Current available e-learning environments (such as Blackboard) cannot provide the desired functionalities for supporting students’ learning on DL. In this paper, based on the integrated functionalities of collecting, organizing, retrieving, and preserving digital objects in a collection, we convert a DL platform into an integrated and interactive e-learning system. The system, called DiLight, concentrates on organizing lecturing slides, videos, reading materials and students comments into meaningful items/documents, and provides multiple retrieval methods that are suitable for students’ varied tasks, needs and preferences. Students’ initial feedbacks are very positive, and demonstrate the usefulness of DiLight system in their learning processes.
