Prototype Framework for Integration of Digital Repository Systems with e-Learning Platforms
Author:
Abstract: Modern repository platforms like Dspace, ePrints or FEDORA (Flexible and Extensible Digital Object and Repository Architecture) are information systems and frameworks for handling digital objects. They are rich with various features so they might serve as much better interactive storage than internal LMS (Learning Management System) storage used by LSM like Blackboard or Moodle. This paper analyzes features of commonly used repository platforms as possible storage solution for e-learning digital objects and tools. We explain our experiences while creating integrated framework system for commonly used LMS with commonly used repository platforms. Comparison analysis of existing repository platforms is made with focus on features necessary for effective integration with LMS and similar e-learning systems. Prototype application was created to demonstrated key features and benefits of integrated solution.
