Abstract
Over time, academic and research institutions worldwide have commenced the transformation of their digital libraries into a more structured concept, the Learning Object Repository (LOR) that enables the educators to share, manage and use educational resources much more effectively. The key point of LORs interoperability and scalability is without doubt the various standards and protocols such as LOM, SCORM etc. On the other hand, Learning Management Systems have boosted the expansion of the e-learning notion by providing the chance to follow remotely courses of the most well-known universities. However, there is no a uniform way to integrate these two achievements of e-learning and assure an effective collaboration between them. In this paper, we propose a solution on how we can ingest learning objects metadata into the Open eClass platform.
