Abstract
In this article we introduce HyCo (Hypertext Composer), an authoring tool devoted to create semantic learning objects. This authoring tool uses learning technology standards or specifications to save these semantic objects, which will be delivered in Web e-learning environments as encapsulated packages in order to ensure their reusability, interoperability, durability and accessibility. These learning objects are closed to the Semantic Web field because they combine hypermedia and semantic capabilities. Our research work is directed to use these semantic learning objects in order to define learning domains for an Adaptive Learning Environment. The aim of this system is to provide an e-learning environment where teachers have tools to create didactic materials and students carry out their knowledge acquisition through the most suitable adaptive learning technique giving the student’s characteristics, the learning activities provided, and the learning objects’ features.
This study was partly financed by the Regional Government of Castile and Lion through research project SA017/02. Also, it is supported by the European Union Project ODISEAME, ref. EUMEDIS B7-4100/2000/2165-79 P546.
