Introducing learning management systems standards in classroom

Abstract

Learning material reuse is a major topic in both distant learning and face-to-face teaching scenarios. This article investigates the portability in the classroom of two standards specifications - LOM and IMS LD - for interoperability of learning material between distant learning management systems. For concealing the divergence between face-to-face and distant learning contexts, we introduce LessonMapper, a teaching visual support enabling on-the-fly adaptation of digital learning material presentation and distribution. We present and discuss a three-layer structure consisting of learning objects, learning material graphs and learning design for LessonMapper to integrate IMS LD and LOM.
