The 2nd International Workshop on Learning Technology for Education in Cloud

Abstract

This study proposes AIREH (Architecture for Intelligent Retrieval of Educational content in Heterogeneous Environments) that is a model for the development of digital content retrieval based on the paradigm of virtual organizations of intelligent agents Learning objects have made it possible to create digital resources that can be reused in various didactic units. These resources are stored in repositories, and thus require a search process that allows them to be located and retrieved.
