System architecture, content authentication and digital right management (DRM) for eLearning

This thesis provides a frame for Personal eLearning System (PELS) with content security, authentication and Digital Right Management. It presents an efficient algorithm for eLearning problem-solution using graph partitioning and weighted bipartite graph. The research provides an eLearning Analytics Ecosystem using statistical methods for validation of Quality of Results (QoR).<br /

Exploiting Policies in an Open Infrastructure for Lifelong Learning

De Coi, J. L., Kösling, A., Kärger, P., Olmedilla, D., (2007) Exploiting Policies in an Open Infrastructure for Lifelong Learning. In Duval, E., Klamma, R. and Wolpers, M. (Eds.), Second European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 4753, pp.26-40.Nowadays, people are in need for continuous learning in order to keep up to date or be upgraded in their job. An infrastructure for lifelong learning requires continuous adaptation to learners needs and must also provide flexible ways for students to use and personalize them. Controlling who can access a document, specifying when a student may be contacted for interactive instant messaging or periodical reminders in order to increase motivation for collaboration are just some examples of typical statements that may be specified by e.g., learners and learning management system administrators. This paper shows how policies can represent a way of expressing these statements and describes the extra benefits of its adoption like flexibility, dynamicity and interoperability.The work on this publication has been sponsored by the TENCompetence Integrated Project that is funded by the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme, priority IST/Technology Enhanced Learning.
