Configuration of Personalized e-Learning Courses in Moodle

Our work carries on the idea of configuring personalized courses by means of automated planning techniques, preserving coherence with present standards for e-learning, in particular with SCORM properties. Starting from a previous prototype based on suitably defined learning objects, learning components, we intend to make it available in a wider contest. To this aim we design a mapping between our learning component specification and the definition of a SCO, a SCORM 1.2 compliant learning object. In this way we can extend conservatively the usual SCO by enriching it with those elements that are relevant for the process of automated configuration: while the original SCORM properties stay unchanged, we can then make course configuration with a SCORM compliant learning object. In order to obtain such a mapping, the ScormUni tag format has been devised, which is an extension of SCORM meta data. We show here how the above mentioned prototype has evolved into UniTag , a software module that extends Moodle (Version 1.6).
