Abstract

This paper presents our work on netUniversity web portal, an easy and competitive solution dedicated to the creation and management of pedagogical online content. netUniversity provides a wide diversity of pedagogical models based on IMS-LD, which offers the best adaptation of courses to the chosen pedagogy and learning style. Our tool gives teachers the possibility to edit their own pedagogical scenarios adapting the displayed learning content according to the intellectual and cognitive level of learners. In addition, netUniversity contains a transformation mechanism that guaranties the extensibility and reusability of educative content, as well as the interoperability of hypermedia systems. It also contains a set of generators which allows the creation of a wide diversity of collaborative learning tools.
