Towards Intelligent Collaborative Learning Simulations: Extending the IMS LD Standard by Web Semantic Based ITSs

Many research works had emphasized that successful learning processes can´t be achieved without established methods and standards, consistent learner support or also collaborative activities. Applying intelligent features to simulate collaborative behavior could bring new challenging issues in e-learning processes. In this paper, we propose a Semantic web based approach which extends the Instructional Management Systems Learning Design information model to take into account intelligent virtual roles required by Collaborative Learning processes.
