چکیده

The paper deals with the synchronization mechanism among the servers of a federation of distributed repositories for the constant updating of the didactic-scientific material, its properties and its locations. A shared metadata database is the synchronization point of reference and it allows to improve performance in terms of searching and downloading. The proposed federation is meant to deal with a large variety of different contents though the discussed prototype implementation is concerned with scientific and educational subjects in particular. Additional elements of evaluation are the capability of enhancing collaboration and fault tolerance.

Ad-hoc Composition of Distributed Learning Objects using Active XML

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 ide...

Frameworks for the Automatic Indexation of Learning Management Systems Content into Learning Object Repositories

Learning Management Systems (LMS) generally offer big repositories of learning material, but the lack of publicly available metadata to describe the learning objects makes it very difficult to share and reuse these objects. If metadata could be generated for these objects in order to index them in Learning Object Repositories (LOR), the gained amount of resources could solve the sub-critical ma...

Reusable Learning Objects: Designing Metadata Management Systems supporting Interoperable Learning Object Repositories

Metadata can significantly assist in effectively accessing and managing learning objects. Currently, there are many systems which are intended to collect, share and reuse distributed learning objects, presenting the end-user with a uniform interface to search, access and evaluate these resources. On the other hand, although a generally accepted international standard for describing educational ...

A Distributed Content Repositories Model and a Decisions Support System for Learning Objects in Latin-America

This paper describes a content object and metadata repositories model, which provides an alternative to search and to access repositories developed in Colombia and Latin America. Along with the repositories model, an initial design of a decision support system for repositories is presented. In order to preserve the autonomy of each repository, a common web services interface is considered. This...
