The aim of this paper is to present a project under progress which intends to apply the metadata concept to the publication on the Web of the teaching programs of our Higher Education institution, Supélec, and their related "Learning Objects". By ...

In this article, a short review of the new trends in Learning Objects is outlined. Due to outdated working methods, electronic educational documentation (on the Web or not) is still in its infancy. A more efficient and appealing approach will soon...

This paper shows the importance of taking account of the structure in order to describe and retrieve educational resources. Each educational resource is associated to metadata and structure. We propose combining the structural and the textual...

The aim of this paper is to present a tool designed to help teachers (or other users) to describe their learning objects with IEEE Learning Object Metadata. This semi-automatic tool proposes default values based on the user profile for some...

Using OWL is today considered as an important step towards better semantic descriptions of Web data and possibilities of inference mechanisms. In this paper, we explain some experiments with defining and editing a pedagogical ontology. Using both...

The IEEE LOM is now standardized since July 2002 but it is not the only one standard used to describe learning objects. Application profiles based on the LOM and other educational metadata schemas coexist. This established fact leads to a lack of...

GEAHS is a platform designed to ease the development of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia. In this document, we explain the underlying principles of this platform. Genericity is achieved thanks to an adaptation engine based on conceptual graphs,...

Abstract: The media on which authors should publish pedagogical documents become every day more numerous, complexifying the work of either content authors, graphics designer or webmasters. We propose an XML application for content authors, to help...

Multiple RDF schemas can be found for the educational domain resulting in the lack of interoperability. So, translating RDF descriptions is mandatory if a user wants to request multiple descriptions using multiple schemas even if one doesn't know...

This paper discusses how learning resources can take advantage of the Semantic Web. As the W3C, we consider RDF as the first step to the Semantic Web. However, in spite of its advantages, RDF is not used as widespread as it should be because using...

RDF is today considered as an important step towards a better semantic description of Web data. In this paper, we are interested in the description of pedagogical resources and in the relation types between described resources in order to provide a ...

In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic tool to build a learning object repository from HTML pages. Our extraction method which consists of applying the user-defined patterns defined in a configuration file using a pre-defined ontology, tries...

This paper deals with a five years teaching experiment of SQL (Structured Query Language) using an on-line course connected to a true DBMS (DataBase Management System) in a way complementary to classical lectures on database. The experiment appears ...

The web is becoming very rapidly the largest database containing both structured and non-structured data. Creating webdocuments is easy and there is actually a choice between many technical solutions to do that. The most important issue is to find ...
