A Proposal of a Resource Discovery Component for Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs)
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the wide use of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) across universities, many researchers are looking to make the most effective use of such environment to enhance the learning and teaching experience. Many valuable learning resources are uploaded to the VLEs systems every day such as lectures, tutorials and labs, assignments and other learning objects. Making these resources available and discoverable through the VLE is critical to reuse and share such resources. This could increase the added value of these systems, save time, and enhance course content development. This paper proposes a component that will be added as a plug-in to a VLE in order to facilitate resources discovery and extraction in order to reuse them through the use of metadata. Furthermore, it aids creating an open access repository for learning objects that assist in developing course content. The paper will also present a background review of VLEs, learning objects, metadata, and resource discovery.

An enhanced semantic VLE based on schema.org and social media
After the arrival of the web in the 1990s, educational institutions started to maintain their learning materials within Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), as the web is a significant source of material for many students and teachers. However, there has been less development in the current VLEs in the past few years, which remain heavily centred on single institutions even though the web has ...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Approach to Semantic Markup of VLEs Content Based on Schema.org
In June 2011, the major search engines (Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex) announced the new innovation of schema.org. However, there is a clear need to integrate Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) with the wider Web and maintain its learning contents freely open in order to support the sharing and reuse of learning resources. This paper focuses on our proposal to schema.org by proposing new vo...
متن کاملStudents' experience of component versus integrated virtual learning environments
The use of virtual learning environments (VLEs) has become increasingly common in most higher education (HE) institutions. Recent developments have proposed the interoperability of software systems and content, to create component VLEs in contrast with the integrated, monolithic ones that are currently prevalent. This paper examines the student experience of two VLEs, one integrated approach an...
متن کاملConceptual Framework for Collaborative Educational Resources Adaptation in Virtual Learning Environments
Frequently, the existing resources in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), used in distance education courses and blended, are presented in the same way for all students. So, the approach adopted in this paper in order to solve this problem is based on a framework called ArCARE (Conceptual Framework of Educational Resources Adaptation in Virtual Learning Environments), which allows adaptation ...
