Abstract:
AHKME e-learning platform’s main aim is to provide a system with adaptive and knowledge management
abilities for students and teachers. This system is based on the IMS specifications representing information
through metadata, granting semantics to all contents in the platform, giving them meaning. In this platform,
metadata is used to satisfy requirements like reusability, interoperability and multipurpose. The system
provides authoring tools to define learning methods with adaptive characteristics, and tools to create courses
allowing users with different roles, promoting several types of collaborative and group learning. It is also
endowed with tools to retrieve, import and evaluate learning objects based on metadata, where students can
use quality educational contents fitting their characteristics, and teachers have the possibility of using
quality educational contents to structure their courses. The metadata management and evaluation play an
important role in order to ge
t the best results in the teaching/learning process.
