9. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 9 Possible way to e-learning using of Application Service Provider sharing of learning objects cooperation among universities/faculties eDILEMA project: e-resources and Distance Learning Management (Socrates/MINERVA Programme) The main goal: DILLEO

10. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 10 Digital Library of Learning Objects Learning Object is any entity, digital or non- digital, that may be used for learning, education or training Metadata for learning object describe relevant characteristics of the learning object DL – controlled set of digital information objects – special type of information system fulfilling the role of library

11. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 11 DL is not … web – is not controlled multimedia database – does not provide library services on-line information resource – need not to be on-line

12. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 12 Metadata Standardisation IMS - has produced a wide range of specifications for learning technologies; recently Digital Repositories White Paper - http://www.imsglobal.org http://www.imsglobal.org Dublin Core – developing a widely used resource discovery specifications - http://www.purl.org/dc http://www.purl.org/dc ARIADNE – developing concepts and tools for e-learning with a strong emphasis on the sharing and reuse of e-resources - http://www.ariadne-eu.org/main.html http://www.ariadne-eu.org/main.html

13. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 13 Metadata for our DILLEO 1.general information on the resource itself 2.semantics of the resource 3.pedagogical attributes 4.technical characteristics 5.conditions for use 6.meta-meta data

14. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 14 DILLEO - physical view

15. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 15 DILLEO – logical view

16. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 16 DILLEO – basic functions Fulltext search Selective search dependent on type of object Possibility to view each object Support for metadata creation Evaluation of every learning object Possibility to download the object Different access rights

17. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 17 Motivation for cooperation Competition of distance courses The main aim of the competition is to stimulate cooperation among Czech (and Slovak) universities to motivate development and deployment of on- line courses to evaluate quality of on-line courses materials to demonstrate on-line teaching methodology, problems and achievements

18. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 18 Evaluation procedure The evaluation procedure has two-steps: 1.The jury grades course materials (1 to 9, the more the better) according to the criteria given in the table below. 2.A workshop is organised where the authors of the best courses demonstrate their products to the jury and to all interested people.

19. KMEP, Bratislava 2002 19 Evaluation Criteria The basic features (35% of all points) –Mesurable and testable course objectives –Intuitiveness of course control –The overall design of the course –Course graphics –Usage of multimedia –Response time of the system –Quality of supplementary materials
