dLCMS Contents • Introduction • The dLCMS-Project • Goals • Architecture • Implementation • Problems • Conclusions
dLCMS Learning Objects • Small modular building blocks
= Didactical Context Learning Objects • Small modular building blocks • Can flexibly be assembled to larger learning units • Can be shared among teachers, according to their specific needs • Reusable, accessible, interoperable, durable
dLCMS Standardization • Learning objects standardization • Metadata • Packaging • Learning Design • Etc. • No established standards for learning content and its structures!

dLCMS Goals • Use of small modular learning objects with a similar granularity • Standardized structuring to separate content and graphical presentation • Flexible and easy-to-use assembly of learning objects to larger learning units • Flexible graphical layout and design • Future-proof data formats for learning content
Learning Unit Content Elements Assets Text Text Image Text Video Text Audio Text Text dLCMS Component Model • Assets • Media (image, video, animation) • Content Elements: • Basic building block based on didactic content types (definition, exercise) • Self-contained • Internal structure based on XML schema • Learning Unit • Aggregation of Content Elements • Navigation
dLCMS Structured Markup • Basic typographical elements • Block elements: headers, paragraphs, lists, tables • Inline elements: emphasis, super-, subscript, references, index items • Familiar to authors • Easily convertible to future standard formats

dLCMS Implementation • No existing LCMS accessible • Development based on the Silva/Zope open-source CMS • Implementation as an Silva extension product • Prototype: • Online editor • Centralized repository • Learning unit builder • Flexible layout and graphical designs through style templates • Export function IMS-CP, SCORM 1.2/1.3

dLCMS Problem: Granularity
dLCMS Problem: Layout
dLCMS Problem: Classification
dLCMS Conclusions • dLCMS offers small modular building blocks and XML-based structured content • Authors can concentrate on content instead of programming languages • Flexible layout and graphical designs through style templates
