Generating Learning Objects based on OBAA Metadata and SCORM Packing Standards
Abstract: Learning Objects (LO) may be considered as any digital or non-digital content used in educational context, and should be described by a metadata file. Both, learning object package and metadata file must be under a standard, otherwise can be launched by a computational system, like a repository or a learning management system (LMS). SCORM is a well-known standard for packing learning object, which is accept by most LMSs and is packed by many LO authoring tools. OBAA is a new metadata standard, which extends IEEE LOM and includes new elements to describe technological (multi-agent, ontology, segmentation) and educational (accessibility) features. At this moment, there is no a unique computational tool to describe in OBAA and to pack in SCORM. This paper presents a web tool that implements those features. To generate LO, user may inform a unique file (text, image, video) and may describe how to use and with whom.
