Abstract

This paper reports on our experiences in bridging the world of learning object repositories and peer-to-peer learning networks. More specifically, we have been developing interoperability "bridges" between the ARIADNE Knowledge Pool System, a distributed client-server based learning object repository, and the Edutella peer-to-peer learning network. In our developments, we rely heavily on the rapidly maturing Simple Query Interface (SQI) standard. Our work not only demonstrates that it is possible to interconnect more centralized repositories and more distributed peer-to-peer approaches. We also clarify how these two approaches are complementary. Unifying the two paradigms for learning object management and access will help to accelerate the evolution towards a critical mass of easily available, relevant learning objects of high quality.
