Using IMS LD Specification for e-Learning in the Cloud Computing

Abstract

E-learning takes advantage of the use of information and communication technology. Its objectives can be defined as self-learning, distance learning, individualizing learning paths and the development of online teaching relationships. Keeping interoperability between e-learning content in a universities cloud is not always easy, diffusion of training modules on the cloud by various institutions causes heterogeneous e-learning systems which affect the educational quality offered by university to teachers and learners, from this reason, comes the idea of modeling and synchronizing content between the different parts included in the learning task. Our contribution result a model aims to ensure the interoperability in distributed architectures of large sizes using the IMS-LD specification to facilitate the task of identification, reuse, sharing, adapting teaching and learning resources in the Cloud.
