Enhancing the SCORM metadata model

Nowadays, the leading e-learning platforms are converging towards standardization. This paper presents an extension to the SCORM, today's most well acclaimed e-learning standard, enabling the modelling of course related entities that surround learning objects and content aggregations, therefore increasing the standard's modelling scope and allowing for gains in efficiency in knowledge dissemination. A prototype is being implemented and tested on VIANET, an original e-learning platform with extensible support for the SCORM. Categories and Subject Descriptors K.3.1 [Computers and Education]: Computer Uses in Education - Distance learning General Terms Standardization, Documentation, Design. Keywords E-Learning.
