E-learning merupakan bentuk model pembelajaran yang diakomodasi dan disuport dalam teknologi dalam suatu sistem informasi. Dalam lembaga pendidikan tentu dibutuhkan untuk menolong guru dalam peningkatan efesiensi proses belajar. Oleh karena itu tujuan dari adanya e-learning di SMK Negeri 1 Batipuh selaku lembaga pendidikan di masa pandemi Coronavirus Disease-19 harus diberlakukan pembelajaran jarak jauh atau work from home. Perubahan bentuk pelayanan pendidikan berstandar SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model), dalam permodelan SCORM menggunakan metode waterfall dalam membangun sistim yang baik, dimana tenaga pendidik bisa memberikan pembelajaran kepada peserta didik terhadap aktivitas transfer ilmu khususnya dengan menyajikan video dalam bentuk materi ditambah metode diskusi beserta emoticon agar siswa lebih memahami, menarik dan menjadi giat dalam proses belajar. Setelah melakukan riset di sekolah terkait, maka penulis menyimpulkan bahwa dibutuhkan sebuah sistem e-learning  yang memudahkan proses belajar dan mengajar. Dengan bahasa pemrograman PHP dan framework CodeIgniter maka dirancanglah sebuah sistem e-learning yang mampu menghubungkan siswa dan guru.Kata Kunci : E-Learning, SCORM, Coronavirus Disease-19, Framework CodeIgniter.. E-learning is a form of learning model that is accommodated and supported in technology in an information system. In educational institutions, of course, it is needed to help teachers in increasing the efficiency of the learning process. Therefore, the purpose of e-learning at SMK Negeri 1 Batipuh as an educational institution during the Coronavirus Disease-19 pandemic, distance learning or work from home should be implemented. Changes in the form of SCORM standard education services (Sharable Content Object Reference Model), in SCORM modeling using the waterfall method in building a good system, where educators can provide learning to students about knowledge transfer activities, especially by presenting videos in the form of materials plus discussion methods along with emoticons so that students better understand, be interesting and become active in the learning process. After conducting research in related schools, the authors conclude that an e-learning system is needed that facilitates the learning and teaching process. With the PHP programming language and the CodeIgniter framework, an e-learning system is designed to connect students and teachers.Keywords: E-Learning, SCORM, Coronavirus Disease-19, CodeIgniter Framework.

A partir de um trabalho de revisão da literatura sobre a utilização do padrão Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) para composição de conteúdos para e-Learning, identificou-se que, embora amplamente utilizado, seu modelo de metadados para agregação de conteúdos é complexo e difícil de ser utilizado por educadores, desenvolvedores de conteúdo e designers instrucionais. Particularmente, a identificação de conteúdos relacionados entre si, a partir de grandes repositórios, tem sido alvo de consideráveis esforços por parte de pesquisadores em ciência da computação, no sentido da automatização destes processos. Todavia, abordagens anteriores estenderam ou alteraram os metadados definidos pelo SCORM. Diante disso, são apresentados neste artigo os resultados de uma pesquisa experimental na qual foi proposta e avaliada uma metodologia que emprega ontologias, anotação automática de metadados, recuperação de informação e mineração de textos para recomendação automática e agregação de conteúdos relacionados, utilizando o vocabulário da categoria de metadados relation, conforme definida pelo SCORM, sem a necessidade de extensão desses metadados, de realizar alterações no padrão, ou mesmo de implementações específicas nos Sistemas de Gerenciamento de Aprendizagem (SGA). Foi desenvolvido um protótipo de um sistema computacional que aplica a metodologia proposta sobre uma amostragem de objetos de aprendizagem, gerando os resultados para avaliação de sua eficácia. Os resultados foram analisados e avaliados com o apoio de profissionais da educação, que atuam no desenvolvimento de conteúdos para e-Learning, demonstrando que a metodologia proposta é viável e eficaz, produzindo os resultados esperados.

Interactive Digital Television (iDTV) has facilitated and expanded the communication and interaction in activities of knowledge acquisitions, entertainment, and recreation in the distance learning field. This new way of teaching and learning has been called t-Learning. In this context, the Learning Objects (LOs) have an important role in assisting in the electronic courses' development. Due the fast progress of e-Learning, some efforts toward standardization have appeared in order to enable the reusability of educational contents and interoperability among systems, and one of these standards is the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). Therefore, the main goal of this work is to present an extension of SCORM aiming to adapt it to improve the search and navigation of LOs with educational content for t-Learning. This is done through an authoring tool named T-SCORM ADAPTER, which is able to apply this extension in a fast and efficient way.

Το Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCROM) είναι ένα σύνολο προτύπων και προδιαγραφών για την ανάπτυξη, τη συσκευασία και τη διανομή εκπαιδευτικού υλικού υψηλής ποιότητας, όποτε και οπουδήποτε, αυτό απαιτείται. Στην παρούσα εργασία θα γίνει μία σύντομη αναφορά στο δωρεάν εργαλείο για τη δημιουργία μαθησιακών αντικειμένων σε μορφή SCROM, αυτό του CourseLab. Σκοπός είναι η ανάδειξη της αποτελεσματικής αξιοποίησης των ΤΠΕ στην εκπαιδευτική πρακτική μέσω διδακτικών εφαρμογών οι οποίες βασίζονται στη σχεδίαση και την ανάπτυξη ηλεκτρονικών μαθημάτων με τη χρήση των εργαλείων συγγραφής. Παράλληλα, ενθαρρύνεται η ενεργή συμμετοχή και η αυτονομία των μαθητών στη μαθησιακή διαδικασία καθώς ο μαθητής μπορεί να αποφασίζει πότε και πόσο θέλει να μάθει. Η εργασία ξεκινά με μία αναφορά στην έννοια του e- learning και μετέπειτα, αναπτύσσεται το διδακτικό σενάριο το οποίο απευθύνεται σε μαθητές ΣΤ’ Δημοτικού σχολείου και έχει σαν τίτλο «Η σημασία της ελιάς στην αρχαία Ελλάδα». Η παρουσίαση της θεματικής ενότητας αποτελείται από 3 κεφάλαια και 3 επιμέρους τεστ. Στο τέλος, υπάρχει ένα τελικό τεστ αξιολόγησης για τον εκπαιδευόμενο. Το μάθημα υλοποιείται με τη μέθοδο εφαρμογής και ειδικότερα με θεωρία και ασκήσεις μέσω λογισμικού εξ' αποστάσεως εκπαίδευσης βασισμένο στο μοντέλο ADDIE.

Objective - As Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) begin to investigate how they can increase revenue and decrease costs, the Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) already implemented in most HEIs may be the solution. The opportunity for including advertisements on a VLE allows HEIs to minimise the significant financial implications associated with the development and use of a VLE, without reducing the value of the service provided. While incorporating advertisements onto VLEs makes sense financially, there is limited knowledge on how students will respond to the presence of advertisements on VLEs. Consequently, this research study reports on the findings from a pilot study conducted to determine the legitimacy and reliability of a measuring instrument being employed to investigate students' attitudes towards the use of a VLE with the presence of advertisements at a South African university of technology. Methodology/Technique - A measuring instrument, including constructs of self-efficacy, technology experience, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, satisfaction, pre advert presence and post advert presence on a selected VLE was employed in this research study. A six-point Likert scale, ranging from 1= strongly disagree to 6= strongly agree was used to avoid the utilisation of a seventh scale item of neither agree nor disagree. After the initial pre-testing of the questionnaire, carried out to verify face and content validity, was completed, a non-probability, convenience, judgement sample of 50 students from a South African public higher education institution situated in the Gauteng province was taken. The gathered pilot data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), Version 25.0. Findings - The findings indicate that the measuring instrument was deemed legitimate and reliable with regards to investigating students' attitudes towards the use of a VLE with the presence of advertisements. Novelty - Only one previous study has been conducted with regards to evaluating students' attitudes towards advertising on HEI VLEs, which was conducted in the UK. In addition, other studies closely related are concerned with students' attitudes towards e-learning and do not evaluate students' attitudes towards the use of a VLE with the presence of advertisements. Attitudes contribute to understanding the perceptions of students towards a VLE. Consequently, if HEIs are to incorporate advertisements on the VLEs used within HEIs, then evaluating the attitudes of the students enrolled at these HEIs, towards the use of a VLE with the presence of advertisements, is paramount. Type of Paper - Empirical. Keywords: E-learning, attitudes, virtual learning environments, advertisements, students, higher education institutions, South Africa.

The assessment of competences requires an approach where knowledge, abilities, and attitudes are integrated, naturally implying the resource to a variety of assessment strategies. Within this context, we have seen the emergence of what has been called by several authors, the Assessment Culture. Furthermore, Higher Education e-learning environments have also promoted the use of new e-assessment strategies. Therefore, it is important to reconsider the concept of quality assessment in Higher Education online contexts, and particularly how to develop it in the present learning landscapes. In this chapter, the authors present a new conceptual framework for digital assessment in Higher Education supported by four dimensions—authenticity, consistency, transparency, and practicability—each composed by a set of criteria, aimed at promoting the quality of the assessment strategies being used. This framework was developed based on the expansion of the concept of validity supported by edumetric qualities.
