Abstract
Our system’s main aim is to provide a system with adaptive and knowledge management abilities for students and teachers using the IMS specifications to represent information through metadata, granting semantics and meaning to all contents in the system. The system’s tools along with metadata are used to satisfy requirements like reusability, interoperability and multipurpose. The system provides tools to define learning methods with adaptive characteristics, and tools to create courses allowing users with different roles, promoting several types of collaborative and group learning. It includes tools to retrieve, import and evaluate learning objects based on metadata, allowing students to use quality educational contents fitting their characteristics, and teachers may use quality educational contents to structure their courses. In this paper we will present the metadata management and quality evaluation components of the system since they play an important role in order to get the best results in the teaching/learning process.
