An Ontological Approach for Enriching Metadata of Learning Objects to Support Effective e-Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The metadata elements in e-learning domain provide some meaning about the metadata content. But the current existing metadata standards are not providing fully educative support information and also they are not completely suitable enough to integrate Semantic Web technologies into e-learning domain. In this paper, we discuss the issues surrounding the existing learning object’s metadata standards and the need of ontological approach to enrich existing standards. Along with this we investigate the existing standards and possible approaches to strengthen e-learning metadata.

Collaborative Tagging Approaches for Ontological Metadata in Adaptive E-Learning Systems
One of the main approaches for creating metadata for learning resources in adaptive e-learning systems has been through the use of semantic web ontologies. This approach is limiting because it doesn’t usually address a requirement for the support of annotators or the requirement for significant effort by annotators in learning ontological metadata domains and technologies. This paper proposes a...
متن کاملLearning designs to support educationally effective e-learning using learning objects
This paper describes a design approach for integrating learning objects based on a strong pedagogical framework, the Smart Learning Design Framework (SLDF). The framework is based on the assumptions that good learning settings focus on pedagogically sound design and that reusable learning objects can be effectively located and incorporated into learning settings. This paper describes a tool dev...

متن کاملTowards a Semantic Repository for Learning Objects: Design and Evaluation of Core Services
Repositories form a central piece of the learning objects technology, providing storage spaces where the objects can be catalogued, located, and retrieved. However, repositories usually support only syntactical and morphological aspects of learning objects metadata for cataloguing and searching purposes. This article proposes two integrated systems, which provide the core services of a semantic...
متن کاملA Meta-Relational Approach for the Definition and Management of Hybrid Learning Objects
Electronic learning objects (LOs) are commonly conceived of as digital units of information used for teaching and learning. To facilitate their classification for pedagogical planning and retrieval purposes, LOs are complemented with metadata (e.g., the author). These metadata are usually restricted by a set of predetermined tags to which the classification schema must conform (e.g., IEEE LOM)....
