Abstract

We propose a mechanism, as well as an implemented prototype system, that can be used to support searching and reusing of learning objects. This paper discusses part of the Hard SCORM project developed in Taiwan to support asynchronized distance learning. We developed a SCORM 2004 compliant authoring tool and a LMS. The authoring tool is associated with a metadata wizard to help users to build metadata, which can be used while learning objects are searched and reused. The underlying repository to store learning objects is constructed based on the architecture defined as CORDRA. We integrate the authoring tool, the LMS, and the repository as a total solution to SCORM-based distance learning. The discussion has a focus on the analysis of metadata wizard as well as the analysis of IEEE LOM. The MINE Registry serves as an instance of CORDRA-based repository is also discussed.
