Web authoring tool and repository for learning objects

Abstract

This article purposes to present an authoring tool for learning objects (LOs) with metadata filling in the OBAA standard and SCORM packaging generated in scientific initiation research. The software, in early stage of development, is noted to be free and easy to use, programmed for the Web platform pointing towards features to enhance the user experience. The application is internationalized and has a repository function, which stores the LOs in a database accessed through the search feature. Its origin took place on the lack of tools making use of the characteristics applied to this one and its goal is to simplify, to the teacher, the creation of teaching materials, as well as encourage students to invent their own content. Therefore, a study was conducted of LOs, their metadata, specifications and related tools as well as of the technologies needed to create the system, such as concepts, languages and programming standards.
