Abstract:

In today's world the use of LO (Learning Objects) has been expanded, which allows the organization of digital content which is distributed to require the use or reuse of different context. In addition, its use offers many advantages for students and educators to meet specific learning needs, as well as to update and reuse the content in different e-learning environments. These resources are stored and managed in the LOR (Learning Object Repositories) which have to follow different standards in order to increase their effectiveness and interoperability, ensuring the access by the students and teachers. However, it is not enough that these educational materials are available, it is required to fulfilla quality level so as to allow greater possibilities to achieve the expected learning objectives from the students. Various proposals have been made to evaluate the quality, which the approaches of the users, metadata and experts are mainly the most applicable to the context of LO. However it has not developed any proposal that integrates these three approaches. This article presents a proposal that integrates these approaches to evaluate the quality through the use of an ontology, which has been developed by applying the methodology and it also describes the terms and relations for the specified domain and through the rules knowledge about the evaluation of the quality of each LO is inferred.
