CANOE: A Course Assembly and Normalization Tool for E-learning

Abstract

Metadata plays a very important role in searching and discovering learning resources across the Web. To help users convert legacy Web-based courses into the equivalent ones that are conformant to popular metadata and content packaging standards, we designed and implemented a course normalization and assembly tool called CANOE. By offering the ability to perform course normalization and providing a high-level user view, CANOE enables the user to build standardized courses easily and quickly.
