Abstract
In this paper, the use of semantic web parsing technique in extracting learning design elements from existing course materials published on the web is described. The rationale of this work is to assist the authoring process of IMS Learning Design (IMS-LD) and thus boosting the adoption of the standard as a publication format of course materials on the Internet. By adopting IMS-LD, learners can be guided to consume the course materials in certain orders decided by course designers. This work is illustrated by implementing a plug-in for the ReCourse Learning Design editor.
