Development of real-time learning components using expanded SCORM

Abstract

e-Learning 2.0, which is based on Web 2.0 technology characterized by users' participation, sharing, and social networking, is being changed to a new e-Learning paradigm. Existing LMS/LCMS have limitations in providing various types of interactive components of video contents. It lacks real-timeness and interactivity between teachers-learners and learners-learners in video contents operation. Thus, in order to overcome such limitations of e-Learning and to maximize learning effects, this study proposes a system emphasizing the characteristic (interactivity) of e-Learning 2.0 by implementing real-time interactive video contents (bidirectional learning components) usable in online video lectures. For this purpose, we design a standard by expanding the SCORM standard used currently in building LMS/LCMS, and implement e-Learning 2.0 environment based on the design. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
