Implementation of an E-Learning System-Learning design and Learning objects management and evaluation through Standardization of resources

Abstract

AHKME e-learning system main aim is to provide a modular and extensible system with adaptive and knowledge management abilities for students and teachers. This system is based on the IMS specifications representing information through metadata. Metadata is used to satisfy requirements like reusability, interoperability and multipurpose. The system provides authoring tools to define learning methods with adaptive characteristics, and tools to create courses allowing users with different roles, promoting several types of collaborative and group learning. It is also endowed with tools to retrieve, import and evaluate learning objects based on metadata, where students can use quality educational contents fitting their characteristics,and teachers can of use quality educational contents to structure their courses. The metadata management and evaluation play an important role in order to get the best results in the teaching/learning process.
