Abstract-Learning Objects facilitate reuse leading to cost and time savings as well as to the enhancement of the quality of educational resources. However, teachers find it difficult to create or to find high quality Learning Objects, and the ones they find need to be customized. Teachers can overcome this problem using suitable authoring systems that enable them to create high quality Learning Objects with little effort. This paper presents an open source online e-Learning authoring tool called ViSH Editor together with four novel interactive Learning Objects that can be created with it: Flashcards, Virtual Tours, Enriched Videos and Interactive Presentations. All these Learning Objects are created as web applications, which can be accessed via mobile devices. Besides, they can be exported to SCORM including their metadata in IEEE LOM format. All of them are described in the paper including an example of each. This approach for creating Learning Objects was validated through two evaluations: a survey among authors and a formal quality evaluation of 209 Learning Objects created with the tool. The results show that ViSH Editor facilitates educators the creation of high quality Learning Objects.

Abstract-In an e-learning environment, learn in a collaborative way is not always so easy because one of the difficulties when arranging e-learning contents can be that these contents and learning paths are not adapted to this type of learning. Online courses are constructed in a way that does not stimulate interaction, cooperation and collaborative learning. This is why the e-learning often is seen as individual and lonely. In this sense, one way to reduce these problems and promote collaborative elearning and interaction learner-learner and learnerteacher is to model these contents in the form of collaborative educational games.The primary aim of this work is to exploit the potential of educational games to improve students' collaboration in e-learning environments. Thus, this paper presents a framework for designing, implementing and building collaborative educational games targeted to e-learning. The proposed framework is composed of two main phases: game design phase that consists to propose a collaborative design process of educational games; and game development phase that consists to implement, package, describe and deliver the games using the IMS-LD standard. The paper describes the steps followed for modeling games, the framework architecture and adopted technical choices. The final framework supports the creation and the use of such games using one of the most popular tools of learning in the web era: the LMS (Learning Management System).

“…They allow the editing of the complete LD specification and keep very close to the specification. A typical example in this category is Reload (Miligan, Beauvoir, & Sharples, 2005;Reload Learning Design Editor, 2007) which is by far the most popular LD editor at the moment. However, as a consequence, an ample understanding of LD is required to use these tools.…”

Abstract:In this article TENCompetence will be presented as a framework for lifelong competence development. More specifically, the relationship between the TENCompetence framework and the IMS Learning Design (LD) specification is explored. LD authoring has proven to be challenging and the toolset currently available is targeting expert users mostly working for institutions of higher educations. Furthermore these tools re-enforce a fairly rigid top-down workflow approach towards design and delivery. This approach it is not always the most suitable model in all circumstances for all practitioners. TENCompetence provides an alternative bottom-up approach to LD authoring via its first implementation: the Personal Competence Manager (PCM). Constructs such as competence profiles and competence development programmes, let users define, modify, and acquire competences they need for achieving their personal goals. We will show how the PCM provides support for these constructs and stimulates the bottom-up development of learning materials. We will also show how these concepts can be mapped towards LD. This allows the ad hoc designs of the PCM to be captured in a Unit of Learning (UOL). These UOLs can be enhanced and eventually fed back into the PCM, therewith closing the edit cycle. This editing cycle allows for a gradual integration of bottom-up ad hoc designs with more formal top-down designs introducing LD in a gentle fashion.
