Improving Retrieval of Reusable Learning Resources by Estimating Adaptation Effort

Due to slightly changed scenarios of usage a one-to-one reuse of existing E-Learning resource often is not possible. Actual approaches for retrieving existing E-Learning resources for reuse mostly do not take this into account. But to achieve a high quality often it is necessary to adapt the existing resources to the new usage scenario. In this paper an approach for retrieving existing learning resources is presented that takes into account the difference between the desired usage scenario and the original usage scenario of existing resources.
