TUC, the Ionian University and UKOLN co-operate in JPA2

The Technical University of Crete (lead) is currently working with UKOLN (University of Bath) and the Ionian University on a joint proposal which constitutes part of the DELOS Joint Programme of Activities Phase 2 (JPA2).
The task upon which the partners are co-operating concentrates on the interoperability of audio-visual digital libraries and e-learning applications, in order to support the modular development of personalised learning
experiences.

In particular, the work will focus on semantic mappings between learning standards and audiovisual content standards in order to develop a robust model that will allow for the use of semantic descriptions of audiovisual content objects and/or segments that reside on a digital library in order to support the creation of reusable learning objects that may be used in the assembly of personalized courses.
In addition, the model will allow users who participate in e-learning activities to browse and retrieve audio-visual objects from digital libraries, which match their interests, and to use them as learning resources.
During a Knowledge Extraction and Semantic Interoperability (
KESImeeting held in Heraklion on 13 June 2005, TUC presented a proposed architecture and related technologies to provide a framework for the research and development work to be done in the Task. The technical work is mainly based on the integration of of MPEG7 and SCORM as the major interoperability standards in the audiovisual and e-learning sectors respectively, and the use of ontologies in order to provide a means to fill their mutual gaps. These ontologies will also be used to provide the knowledge needed to support the creation of personalized learning experiences in combination with an appropriate Learner Model.

The work is progressing with the submission by UKOLN of an internal report (July 2005) investigating personalization in the context of this particular task and the work plan proposed by TUC. A further meeting is scheduled on 23 September following a KESI meeting with the aim of progressing the work already outlined and in particular the development of a Learner Model appropriate to this area of work.
