Evaluating the Reuse of Learning Content through a Segmentation Approach

There is an increasingly number of worldwide available content on the Web, which could be reused to support learning processes. However, Web content is getting more and more structured as multimedia files and reusing it implies on using the whole file, which limits its applicability and the return on investment of its development. So, an interesting approach is the segmentation of content, structuring it on reusable segments. Furthermore, once created, these segments can be reused in an easy way in different educational contexts. This paper discusses the segmentation process and presents the results obtained from a case study conducted using a prototype to evaluate this approach.
