POOL, POND and SPLASH: A Canadian Infrastructure for Learning Object Repositories
نویسنده
چکیده
The Portal for Online Objects in Learning (POOL) Project is a consortium of several educational, private and public sector organizations to develop an infrastructure for learning object repositories. In this paper we address the issues of building such architectures including the metadata, software and hardware considerations and bootstrapping the system with initial content. We also describe the tools we have developed, some of which are available for download to help set up similar infrastructures elsewhere and to connect is to POOL. The main advantage of our solution is that it can potentially embrace all nature of individuals and organizations involved in the learning object economy.

Learning Object Repository Technologies for TeleLearning: The Evolution of POOL and CanCore
Repositories provide mechanisms to encourage the discovery, exchange and re-use of learning objects. This paper describes Portals for On-line Objects in Learning (POOL), a consortium project of the TeleLearning NCE to build a learning object repository scalable to the national level. Funded in part by the Canarie Learning Program, POOL contributes to the development of two focal technologies: “...

متن کاملGlobal vs. Community Metadata Standards: Empowering Users for Knowledge Exchange
The idea of knowledge sharing has strong roots in the education process. With the current development of the technology and moving learning material into the web environment it acquired a new dimension. Learning objects are the chunks of knowledge shared by e-learning community. Organizations and individuals are building repositories of learning objects and annotate them with metadata to descri...

In this paper, we describe the heterogeneous peer-to-peer infrastructure for sharing learning object. The POOL project builds on the three types of nodes: SPLASH is a freely downloadable application which allows individuals to create metadata and maintain their collection of learning objects, PONDs are bigger repositories of learning objects connected to the peerto-peer network and POOL Central...
متن کاملWeb services for the ARIADNE Knowledge Pool System
This paper presents an architecture based on web services for learning object repositories (LOR). This architecture enables to facilitate the indexation process by integration of a LOR into applications where learning objects are either produced or consumed. Also, it is designed to provide interoperability with other LORs.
