| |  | Fischer, Stephan | Course and exercise sequencing using metadata in adaptive hypermedia learning systems read moreAbstract: In the last few years the (semi-) automatic sequencing of course material has become an
important research issue, particularly the standardization of metadata for educational resources.
Sequencing can help to generate hypermedia documents which, at their best. match
the learner’s needs. To perform (semi-) automatic course sequencing, a knowledge library as
well as modular resources can be used. Both must be described by metadata.
First, metadata standards (IEEE Learning Objects Metadata, Instructional Management
Systems Global Learning Consortium, Dublin Core) are analyzed with regard to course
sequencing. As an application example, Multibook, an adaptive hypermedia system used to
teach multimedia technology, is described. Multibook uses metadata to create course sequences
semi-automatically. In this article we explain how a knowledge library can be used to
create exercises automatically. We give an example of how courses can be sequenced in
general by analyzing the creation of exercises. An evaluation of our system shows the
advantages and drawbacks of the automatic course sequencing approach. | 2001 |
