Internet’s Third Wave First wave: STATIC TEXT and DATA EXCHANGE – Primarily static HTML pages: text and data services – E-mail, FTP, forum (asychronous communication) Second wave: DYNAMIC MULTIMEDIA – Dynamic pages, ASP, JSP – Facilitated transfer of images, sound and video – Desktop audio/video conference Third wave: SEMANTIC and PROGRAMMABLE – – – – – – Integration of applications, API enabled by web services Ex: Google Alerts, Amazon’s API Distributed computing, P2P, and mobile networking Semantic web and knowledege-based technologies Open source, sharing of objects and applications New generation of Distributed Learning Environments eduSource Canada Project Web Services Metadata Repository Legacy Tools Metadata Repository Services DRM services Based on IMS-DRI Portals Agents Communication Kernel eLearning Middleware Services Comp..

(IEEE LTSC 2000) Includes materials, tools, services, persons, events Not necessarily digitized, include printed, lab material Used not only by learners, but also other actors Includes target and prerequisite competencies or objectives, activity descriptions, instructional structure, learning or assistance scenarios, etc. Information Resources is better Building LO Repositories Referencing Learning Objects: describing properties and types Searching for Objects Use cases Learners (or workers) use LOs in activites and/or produce LOs that are shared and/or assessed Trainers (or managers) point interesting LOs to learners, follow or adapt designs and activities, use LOs to assist learners (workers), manage repositories Content Experts build LO repositories and use them to give advice, presentation or answer questions Designers build, find, select, store, reference and assemble LOs (including designs) in environments (just like a campus professor) Knowledge Management and LOs Knowledge Management is more than « glorified » document management It aims at knowledge sharing and dissemination in an Information organization Increasing competencies instead of simple information access Higher level knowledge Central role for knowledgebased Instructional Engineering. Cognitive Engineering Knowledge Instructional Engineering LOM: a step to the Semantic Web Knowledge Management: a process where persons publish and use knowledge objects (resources) on the Web – learning is central Knowledge Objects are grouped in « learning objects repository » Knowledge Objects are described by their Metadata: properties and types of objects Metadata are a basis for a Semantic Web description of object Need to be completed by an Ontology: relations and axioms To provide intelligent processing of content Value-added Service: Aggregation Learning Design Aggregation Environment Aggregation Apprenant Environment Construction Obstacles and Challenges Technical Challenges Generic Software – Separated tools – Integrated Suite – Interoperability at the OS level DL System – Separated Tools – LMS, LCMS – Web services interoperability Pedagogical Challenges The object paradigm is economical, flexible and forces pedagogical re-evaluation Attach more importance to communication and learning activities than medias, documents or content Seperate content object from use scenarios and learning environments Reusability must protect ne good quality learning scenarios Reuse of learning models can bring more than just recycling content. Cultural Obstacles Lecturing instead of facilitating learning The library « course » Lack of pedagogical training of the majority of teachers Reproduce the way we have been taucht IP vs Open Source Collaboration between content creator and institutions eduSource Industrial Forum Moncton - June 12 , 2003 Using Learning Objects Repositories The eduSource Suite of Tools par Dr Gilbert Paquette Centre de recherche CIRTA (LICEF) and Cogigraph Technologies Télé-université, Montréal http://licef.teluq.quebec.ca/gp
