Abstract

This article reports on the development of a framework for repurposinglearning object components, more specifically components of slidepresentations. Unlike the usual practice where learning object componentsare assembled manually, the framework enables on-the-fly access andrepurposing of learning object components. In earlier work, we havedeveloped an ontology that formalizes structural aspects of learningobjects. In this article, we present a framework that disaggregatesslide presentations into this ontology format and reassembles theircomponents (e.g., definitions, references) into new slide presentations.
