Paper Abstract:
|
Most university e-learning strategies mandate the use of a centralized university-wide learning platform. The learning
management systems typically employed in this function are integrated platforms, i.e., large-scale systems providing
most common e-learning functions in a single application. There are, however, a number of issues with this type of
systems: Due to their size and complexity they can be difficult and expensive to operate and administrate; and we feel
that they are not flexible enough to allow teachers to make tactical decisions; and, since these systems cannot be used for
the management of normal Web sites, they separate learning content from other content and duplicate functionality and
administration. This paper presents an alternative approach: E-learning components that extend a general-purpose content
management system with e-learning functionality, enabling the use of a single platform for learning and non-learning
content and the creation of tailor-made e-learning environments. |
