Attention Metadata Management: Tracking the use of Learning Objects through Attention.XML

Jehad Najjar; Michael Meire; Erik Duval

World Conference on Educational Media and Technology 2005 (Jun 27, 2005) pp. 1157–1161

In this paper, we introduce a framework for automatic collection and management of attention metadata. This framework enables keeping track of the learning objects that people use, how they use them, the time they spend with them, etc. By sharing...

SAmgI: Automatic Metadata Generation v2.0

Michael Meire; Xavier Ochoa; Erik Duval

World Conference on Educational Media and Technology 2007 (Jun 25, 2007) pp. 1195–1204

Manual creation of metadata is tedious, error-prone and doesn't scale. As the amount of learning content continues to grow, it becomes less and less feasible to describe all available content manually. Moreover, the metadata humans create are not...

Katrien Verbert; Jelena Jovanovic; Erik Duval; Dragan Gasevic; Michael Meire

International Journal on E-Learning Vol. 5, No. 1 (2006) pp. 67–74

This article reports on the development of a framework for repurposing learning object components, more specifically components of slide presentations. Unlike the usual practice where learning object components are assembled manually, the framework...

Frameworks for the Automatic Indexation of Learning Management Systems Content into Learning Object Repositories

Xavier Ochoa; Kris Cardinaels; Michael Meire; Erik Duval

World Conference on Educational Media and Technology 2005 (Jun 27, 2005) pp. 1407–1414

Learning Management Systems generally offer big repositories of learning material, but the lack of publicly available metadata to describe the learning objects makes it very difficult to share and reuse these objects. If metadata could be generated ...

Towards a Global Component Architecture for Learning Objects: A Slide Presentation Framework

Katrien Verbert; Jelena Jovanovic; Dragan Gaševic; Erik Duval; Michael Meire

World Conference on Educational Media and Technology 2005 (Jun 27, 2005) pp. 1429–1436

This paper reports on the development of an ontology-based framework for content repurposing. In earlier work, we developed an ontology that formalizes structural aspects of learning objects. In this paper, we present a framework that uses this...

Information Visualisation: Towards an Extensible Framework for Accessing Learning Object Repositories

Joris Klerkx; Michael Meire; Stefaan Ternier; Katrien Verbert; Erik Duval

World Conference on Educational Media and Technology 2005 (Jun 27, 2005) pp. 4281–4287

In this paper, we discuss the use of Information Visualization techniques to improve the access to learning object repositories. We elaborate on a framework that was developed for this goal and on a prototype that was designed to enable users to...
