Augmenting LMS with Repository System to facilitate Content Sharing

Abstract

While E-learning has been supported continually, it has not gained much popularity in Thailand. A major problem is the lack of quality, as well as the variety of the learning contents, especially in the rural area where the teachers are less experienced in creating the contents compared to that of the teachers in urban areas. This paper presents a method to distribute contents between two areas that have a different quality of education. Our LMS called LearnSquare is modified to support content sharing by connecting with Fedora repository system. The teachers who use LearnSquare can choose the contents they want from repository. The large amount of contents offers variety of choices for the students to choose from according to their teachers' learning conditions.
