Paper Abstract:
|
Over the last decade, research in the area of e-learning employed efforts in solutions for sharing and reuse of educational resources. However, these solutions were not built for communication with each other. That is, in general, the development of these solutions has not provided mechanisms to facilitate the exchange of resources among them. Thus, this effort led to a fragmented landscape of concurrent metadata schemas or interface mechanisms. To address this problem, this work aims to design an ontology based semantic model for sharing educational resources from different sources. This model serves as a hub of enriched metadata for educational resources, aiming to classify, organize and align these resources. At the current step of this research, we developed the ontology for the integration model, and initial evaluations were performed, showing its efficiency in the formal description of educational resources. |
