A Preliminary Research on the Dynamic Building of the Personalized Teaching Materials on Web
This paper outlines an approach to dynamically build the teaching materials of a Web-based online course based on the concepts of learning objects. This technology introduces an approach to building the teaching materials to best match to individual study styles, where the teaching content is broken down into several manageable components that can be used, re-used, or referenced in different teaching units. In this paper the concepts of learning objects are described and then the methods of storing and managing the metadata which describes the semantic of learning objects on the network are presented. After that the issue of granularity of learning objects and the contextual meanings on a Web page are discussed. Finally, an experimental system developed by us, as an initial application of the technology, is reported.
