Continuous and rapid developments in science and technology have raised a challenge for compliance between the learning content provided by study programs and (1) the actual state of art in the domains the programs are addressing and (2) the actual needs of companies that will employ the graduates of these programs. To achieve such compliance continuously, the digitalization of learning content (curriculum) engineering could provide supporting tools that facilitate awareness of incompliance, which is the first step in introducing changes in the learning content. In this article we discuss how such awareness, regarding the needs of companies, can be supported by a service system that monitors the gap between educational demand and offer. The proposed service system provides possibilities for automatic, semi-automatic and manual analysis of texts representing the educational demand, versus the texts representing the educational offer. The implementation of the service system has been demonstrated, having been applied at university. The experiments showed that the system can provide valuable information for educational content development, but its maintenance and incorporation in study process management and curriculum engineering still require additional research.

The paper is a case study which gives a summary of the experience in disseminating information through an institutional repository at the Automotive Research Association of India, Pune. The paper has proven to cover different aspects of Knowledge Management (KM) and discusses more about Institutional Repository in Knowledge Management perspective. In this paper, we emphasize the need for deploying and share our experience in creating a state-of-art Institutional Repository using the DSpace software. The method of developing the IR, which includes, the installation, defining the communities and collections, content development and management are illustrated. The paper also illustrates the library services and mode of information dissemination to its users by engaging with knowledge management. It also discusses the proposed initiative of incorporating the library database from LibSys and linking the e-Modules from Learning Management System (LMS) to the institutional repository for the benefit of user community at ARAI.

In the modern study process it is important to teach pupils critical thinking and involvement in decision making. Formulation of negations and construction of counterexamples is one of the ingredients of critical thinking which are stressed in the new project of the mathematical standard for primary school „Skola 2030” in Latvia. The goal of this study is to analyze experience and skills of primary school pupils and students of teacher study programs, which are related to the ability to formulate negations and counterexamples. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of questionaire answers given by pupils and future teachers is performed in this study. Results of this study show that pupils make mistakes constructing negations and counterexamples. Teachers also have problems constructing correct assertions. These observations should stimulate universities to pay attention to teacher preparation in this sense. Teachers should teach correct usage of the negation operation at different levels of difficulty and correct construction of counterexamples.

The article is about a descriptive finding on the function of an LCMS used by the official website of the Department of Curriculum and Educational Technology, Faculty of Education, State University of Jakarta, www.courses.web-bali.net. Based on the observation, there are some principles that may be applied in uploading course content. They are topic analysis and message design principles which should intensively be applied during developing and structuring learning objects in a learning path. Chunk is the main concept in content development. Regarding copyright issue, all parties should respect to those who write or produce creative works accessible through online.

Traditional methods for developing digital learning content usually produce very large, monolithic content that barely can be reused even in similar contexts, despite of the quality they can have. Nonetheless, digital learning content can be described as a set of highly reusable, low-coupled learning objects that can be put together in order to build adaptive, learner-focused content Nowadays, in spite of all technological evolution, it cannot be affirmed that content development in computer-aided teaching/learning process had evolved the same way. This is, indeed, the most expensive, time-consuming undertaking among all tasks demanded by computer-based course building. One of the reasons for this is that digital learning content reuse, even nowadays, is frequently done through copy-and-paste mechanisms that transpose digital learning contents from a context to another. A vary of explanations can be arisen to justify this fact: first, digital learning content is often modeled in an ad hoc manner, in order that all content is very specific, going about some determined knowledge domain. Besides, such development often utilizes tools and techniques - like HTML - that aren’t concerned about separating content from presentation. A possible solution for this is to develop digital learning contents in function of the set of potential learning objects they can be made of. Thus, there will be analyzed a set of frequently used learning objects in order to classify them on types and discuss some possibilities for diminish their coupling to other learning objects, thus leading to finer granular contents, augmenting their potential for reusability.

This study intends to develop the potential of digital-based learning resources. This research aims to: a) Knowing the process of developing E-learning content course of Media and Learning Resources based on Problem Based Learning, b) Knowing the appropriateness of E-learning content course of Media and Learning Resources based on Problem Based Learning. This research is research and development. The object of this research is media and learning resources course based on problem based learning. The data collection method used was an assessment sheet, supported by the results of interviews with education experts and practitioners. The data in this study are the results of assessments from experts. The results of the research data were processed using descriptive statistical data. The results are: a) E-learning content development procedures through four stages: preliminary study, development of learning design, product development and product evaluation. b) Assessment results by material experts is 3,4 (good category), media expert judge by 3,5 (good category), and prospective users judge by 4,3 (very good category). Based on the assessment result E-learning quality course of Media and Learning Resources based on problem based learning for learning materials in elementary schools are considered suitable for use as learning resources.

There is a major contrast in the Republic of Ireland between e-learning content production and the actual use of e-learning technologies. Per head of population, Ireland has one of the highest participation rates in e-learning content production in the world. CBT Systems was set up in Ireland in the mid-80s, and subsequently evolved into SmartForce and later SkillSoft. The original founders of CBT Systems later went on to set up other e-learning ventures such as Riverdeep. In addition to these well-known companies, there are many smaller content-development ventures that either trade under their own names or contract to larger e-learning content providers. There has been some investment in content-development operations by overseas companies. NETg recently closed a major operation in Ireland as part of a restructuring process after their acquisition by Thomson. However, several international corporations have located internal e-learning content development in Ireland. Indeed, Ireland’s industrial development agencies have identified e-learning content development as a growth opportunity, listing availability of software and pedagogy skills as well as excellent international broadband connections as competitive advantages for such investment (http://www.enterprise-ireland.com/ or http://www.idaireland.com/).
