The work introduces the reader the concept of e-learning and provides a structured view of the issue. Explanations of basic terms, forms, methods of implementation or inclusion e-learning in the education system forms makes the basis for understanding the importance of e-learning. The work is explained the issue of standardization, including a summary of the most used standards and the principle of their operation. Issue of e-learning implementation konstitute the fundamental part this work, and it is demonstrated by the example of a model society. There are recognized problem parts in the e-learning implementation, a comparison of possible solutions including design courses, which could be implemented. Component part of this work is the questionnaire survey among employees, potential students, to determine their perceptions of e-learning and in particular their requirements and expectations. For the sake of completeness are recognized developments and trends to e-learning step, and which have promising potential.

Flexible internetbasierte Ausbildungskonzepte werden sowohl für Hochschulen als auch für die berufliche Aus- und Weiterbildung in Unternehmen zunehmend nachgefragt. Im Gegensatz zum traditionellen Unterricht ist jedoch mit einem bis zu zehnfachen Zeitaufwand für die Entwicklung von elektronischen Lernmaterialien für Electronic Learning (E-Learning) zu rechnen. Aufgrund der kostenintensiven aufwendigen Entwicklung von multimedialen Lerninhalten zählt die Wiederverwendung zu den wichtigsten Forderungen aus Sicht der Wirtschaftsinformatik (vgl. Pawlowski & Adelsberger, 2001). Ziel ist die Entwicklung von Lerninhalten, die unabhängig von der Systemumgebung, dem Autorensystem und dem Kontext einsetzbar und flexibel austauschbar sind. Eine aufwandsarme Aufbereitung für verschiedene Zwecke soll ermöglicht werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der mehrfachen Verwendung von elektronischen Lerninhalten für das selbstgesteuerte individuelle Lernen aus Sicht der Wirtschaftsinformatik. Zielgruppe sind informationstechnisch und pädagogisch interessierte Leser, denen das Thema der Gestaltung von Lerninhalten als interdisziplinäre Fragestellung vorgestellt wird. Unter Einbezug von pädagogischen Erkenntnissen wird analysiert, wodurch Lerninhalte gekennzeichnet sind und wie diese informationstechnisch gestaltet werden können, um eine pädagogisch angemessene Wiederverwendung zu ermöglichen. Anhand dieser Vorgehensweise wird deutlich, dass sich der Aspekt der Wiederverwendung von Lerninhalten nur im Spannungsfeld von Informationstechnik (IT) und Pädagogik diskutieren lässt. Die detaillierte Auseinandersetzung mit pädagogischen Konzepten führt im Rahmen der Arbeit zu einem wesentlichen Erkenntnisfortschritt und einer Sensibilisierung für das Thema der Wiederverwendung. Als Ergebnis liegt ein Konzept für die Entwicklung wiederverwendbarer Lerninhalte in Form eines E-Learning-Redaktionsleitstandes vor. Dieser dient der systemunterstützten Planung, Steuerung und Qualitätskontrolle bei der Entwicklung von wiederverwendbaren Lerninhalten. Darüber hinaus erfolgt die Einordnung der Lösung sowie bestehender Ansätze in einem Reifegradmodell für die Bewertung wiederverwendbarer Lerninhalte.

SCORM is a collection of specifications adapted from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive suite of E-Learning capabilities that enable interoperability, accessibility, and reusability of Web-based learning content. To understand better the implementation issues of SCORM architecture, the authors analyze all versions of SCORM to understand the evolution of this emerging architecture. It contrasts the evolving requirements for shareable content objects with concerns of copyright issues. The authors address development and implementation issues surrounding the maturation of SCORM architecture and the ADL initiative. The authors recommend that DoD, international, and civilian business partners join in improving E-Learning by embracing technology, such as SCORM, that allows for shareable content objects to be used and reused within civilian and military education and training Learning Management Systems (LMS) across the World Wide Web. / Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy / Lieutenant, United States Naval Reserve

The subject of this job is „The Packing System of Electronical learning objects“. The main purpose of this job consists of research what is necessary to make the electronical learning course become totally independent from LMS; of the Project and the realization of the tool, which would allow demonstrating the quality of creating this type of course. Universal systems, able to create every necessary elements for the electronical learning allow to produce learning courses and other related services in operative, objective, professional ways. Therefore this is the reason why the flexibility, giving the choice of necessary and useful system components, install the innovations quickly, is being lost. That is why massive LMS are going to be assembled of different components. The analysis shows that the best choice is to use SCORM standard, which is the main standard of electronical learning. The jobs being fulfilled: • The analysis of electronical learning; • The project of the packing system of electronical learning objects; • The realization of the packing system of electronical learning objects; The experiment of: • The action of the produced system; • The investigation of the learning objects package. The main characteristics of The Packing System of Electronical learning objects: • The packing of functional learning objects; • Effective usage of shareable learning objects; • The Standard XML structure of learning objects.

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / This thesis critically analyzes the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) within higher education and examines SCORM's limitations within a realistic application environment versus within a theoretical/conceptual platform. The thesis also examines environments better suited for implementation of SCORM technology. In addressing the research questions, it was discovered that from the current standards set forth by Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), SCORM is not well suited for higher education. SCORM technology will prove of greater utility within the Navy Training environment than in higher education. In their effort to share information, higher education institutions would benefit more from a Content Management System in conjunction with a Learning Management System. Subsequent chapters addressed the limitations of SCORM, provided a comparison of the applicability of SCORM within the separate domains of naval Education and Training, and provided a prototype of a Content Management System for institutions of higher learning. / Lieutenant Commander, Hellenic Navy / Lieutenant, United States Naval Reserve

大多數組織都存有各種資訊以及成功解決問題的經驗，但是由於缺乏知識管理之應用，這些資訊或經驗都不是很容易累積，且經常需要重複花費許多時間去找尋或整合一些零散的知識，造成組織資源與成本的浪費。 本研究以政大商學院為例，集中探討研究型知識與研究人員，並參考Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL)所發展之SCORM content aggregation model提出一個最佳實務模型The Shareable Researching Knowledge Object Reference Model (SREKORM)，希望透過對研究型知識的的系統管理，協助研究人員知識分享、創新，更可為組織累積智慧，創造價值。主要建議如后： (1)將知識呈現方式由傳統的文件轉換為知識物件呈現方式。 (2)將知識搜尋方式由傳統的全文檢索轉換為知識物件檢索方式。 最後，經由論文訪談的方式，了解研究人員從理論及實務對本研究的觀點，並驗證本研究付諸實行之可行性。 / Knowledge is generally available, but not always readily accessible, due to lack of knowledge management in most organizations. So people within organization always spent duplicate time to search or summarize scattered information. This study will focus on researching and researchers based on the College of Commerce, National Chengchi University, and reference the SCORM content aggregation model put forward by Advanced Distributed Learning, and then intends to develop a best practice of researching knowledge--The Shareable Researching Knowledge Object Reference Model (SREKORM), for the purpose of assisting innovation, knowledge sharing and accumulated. The proposal is as follows: (1) To transform the form of knowledge representation from traditional documents to knowledge objects (2) To transform the methods of retrieving knowledge from the traditional full text to knowledge objects. Finally, through case interview, the viewpoints of researchers regarding the theories and actual practices in research at NCCU can be understood and verified the availability of set up of SREKORM in NCCU offered by the current study.

Le travail que nous présentons dans cette thèse s'intègre dans une problématique générale des Environnements Informatiques pour l'Apprentissage Humain (EIAH). Il s'intéresse plus particulièrement aux Systèmes Hypermédias Adaptatifs Dynamiques (SHAD). Le but principal est d'examiner l'intérêt de la granularité fine pour l'adaptation des parcours dans ces systèmes. Il s'agit, en fait, de la génération automatique de cours adaptés à un apprenant particulier, à partir d'un ensemble de ressources pédagogiques et en fonction de ses besoins, ses préférences et ses pré-requis. Les ressources pédagogiques appelés actuellement objets pédagogiques sont indexés en utilisant des normes et des standards de métadonnées éducatifs comme LOM et SCORM. Ces objets pédagogiques, qui constituent le contenu à apprendre, sont assemblés à partir de grains pédagogiques puis associées pour constituer des parcours individuels de formation avec une présentation de type hypermédia. Nous proposons dans le cadre de ce travail, une nouvelle approche de la granularité des ressources pédagogiques basée sur la taille, le contenu et le type de média utilisé. Cette modélisation granulaire propose une décomposition du contenu en fragments ou grains pédagogiques de type introduction, définition, exemple, remarque, etc. Chacun de ces fragments est représenté par des briques multimédia de type : texte, image, son, vidéo, etc. Tous ces éléments servent à améliorer l'adaptabilité, à la fois du contenu, de sa présentation et de la navigation dans un environnement d'apprentissage hypermédia. En résumé, à partir d'un ensemble de ressources élémentaires et granulaires, de leurs descriptions sémantiques et du profil de l'apprenant, le système attendu doit être capable de générer des ressources adaptées (cours, exercices, etc.) avec une interface de navigation sur le Web. Dans ce sens nous avons mis en place les premières briques de réalisation d'un SHAD, que nous avons baptisé Adaptive Learning System for the "C" Programming Language (ALS-CPL). Ce système spécifique vise tout d'abord à mettre en application nos recherches sur les environnements d'apprentissage de programmation, dans le cadre d'un large projet intitulé Adaptive Learning System for Programming Languages (ALS-PL). Il a également pour but particulier de mettre en pratique l'approche granulaire des contenus pour l'adaptabilité.
