Research on Development of Digital Learning Materials in Global Quality Standards and their International Distribution

1.进行了国际调查，以澄清作为可共享和可重复使用学习材料的概念的学习对象的发展和传播的当前趋势。在与国外学习资料共享与重用联盟ARIADNE和MERLOT的合作研究中，我们分析了学习资料共享与重用联盟的技术层面和业务模式，特别是在GLOBE（Global learning Object Brokered Exchange）联盟的框架下。在与MERLOT的合作中，我们明确了学习资料的质量保证策略，并研究了适合日本学术界和教师的质量保证体系。我们开发了一些“国际合作”领域的学习材料原型，并考察了国际共享学习材料的策略及其本土化策略。我们就开发和部署高质量数字学习材料的支持工具进行了国际/国内调查，以供新手教授和教师使用。基于国际标准，对国内外元数据标注与标引的支持工具进行了评估，并提出了一种适用于日本高等教育的元数据生成工具规范。我们开发了一些多语言/独立于语言的搜索界面原型，并调查了数字学习材料版权处理的用例和原型系统。我们调查了国内外高校LO知识库的现状和未来计划，以及知识库和联盟的国际标准化，重点关注了国际标准化组织（如ADL和ims）的活动。除了发表一篇正式报告外，我们还发表了17篇学术论文，在国际会议和研讨会上发表了16篇论文，在国内会议上发表了43篇论文，出版了4本书，并发表了28篇其他学术报告。

1.International surveys were carried out in order to clarify the current trends of the development and dissemination of Learning Objects(LO) as a concept of sharable and reusable learning materials. In the collaborative researches with overseas consortia for the sharing and reuse of learning materials, that is, ARIADNE and MERLOT, we analyzed both technical aspects and business models of the consortia for the sharing and reuse LO, especially in the framework of GLOBE(Global Learning Object Brokered Exchange) alliance.2.In the collaborative works with MERLOT, we clarified the strategies for the quality assurance of the learning materials, and examined the quality assurance system which can adapt to Japanese academia and faculties.3.We developed some prototypes of learning materials in the fields of "International Cooperation", and examined the strategies for international sharing LO and those of their localization.4.We had international/domestic surveys on the support tools on the development and deployment of high quality digital learning materials for novice professors and teachers.5.We evaluated the overseas and domestic support tools for the tagging and indexing metadata based on international standards, and proposed a specification of metadata generating tool for Japanese higher education. We developed some prototypes for multilingual/language-independent search interface, and surveyed use cases and prototype systems of copyright processing of digital learning materials.6.We surveyed the status quo and future plans of LO repositories in overseas/domestic universities, and international standardization for repository and federation, focusing on activities of international standardization bodies, such as ADL and IMS.7.In addition to issuing an official report, we had 17 academic papers, 16 paper presentations in international conferences and seminars,43 paper presentations in domestic conferences, 4 books, and 28 other academic reports on this grant.
