LMML is a pioneer standard for the XML based description of eLearning. This talk presents its main features. LMML facilitates the modular creation and re-use of eLearning content at arbitrary levels of granularity and supports various forms of personalization and adaptation. In contrast to other approaches, LMML is based on a meta modelling architecture and provides a framework that can be inst...

In this paper, we present an equilibrium model of the market for higher education. Our model simultaneously predicts student selection into institutions of higher education, financial aid, educational expenditures, and educational outcomes. We show that the model gives rise to a strict hierarchy of colleges that differ by the educational quality provided to the students. We develop an algorithm...

This article investigates questions regarding the setup and reusability of Learning Objects. The authors propose Learning Objects (LOs) as compound objects, consisting of an Information Object (IO) and an Educational Scenario (ES). These two parts are linked together by a specified Learning Target (LT), which is modeled after the taxonomy by Anderson & Krathwohl (2001). In order to improve the ...

In modern day scenario, it is observed that the content available on Internet is in very large amount. Any single search will result in millions of results, thus the user faces the issues like which content to choose and which one to not. One of the classification in data mining is content hierarchy, which can be defined as the extraction of content in logical and related manner. The key focus ...

The priority attributed to the use of Bloom’s revised cognitive skills taxonomy in any educational system and the scarcity of research on this type of topic in our EFL context, the researchers attempted to conduct this study. Our primary objectives revolved around these dimensions. To examine if the pre-university teaching materials (English 1 and 2) assigned and employed by t...

This paper describes how semantic annotations in terms of a domain ontology and theme hierarchy can be used for organising and reusing educational resources. A case study is presented in the domain of human genetics. The technology has been developed as a part of the Eurogene project and allows the user to submit, annotate and retrieve multimedia learning resources in nine European languages. W...

This work is devoted to present the design and implementation of Alfa-1, a simulated computer with educational purposes. The DEVS formalism was used to attack the complexity of the design, allowing the definition of individual components that can be lately integrated into a modelling hierarchy. The tool is designed for the use in Computer Architecture and Organization courses. Its goal is allow...

The ability to analyse qualitative information from quantitative information, and/or to create new information from qualitative and quantitative information is the key task of statistical literacy in the 21st century. Although several studies have focussed on critical evaluation of statistical information, this aspect of research has not been clearly conceptualised as yet. This paper presents a...
