SCORM-compliant Personalized eLearning Using Instructional Design Principle

The field of education faces various new challenges in meeting the demands of teaching and learning in the 21^st century. One of the new challenges is the call for the integration of information and communication technology as eLearning. According to UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization), eLearning expands educational opportunities and can be used as blended learning in formal education to address the skill shortage. However, some problems and barriers in the course delivery have been reported such as most of the current eLearning course materials are in the simple PDF or HTML format, where in there is no possibility of ensuring knowledge acquisition. The choice of dasiadeveloping personalized eLearningpsila with learner centric learning objects is governed by considering the aspects such as the technological enhancement of using interactive multimedia course materials. The recent advances in eLearning standards to ensure consistency particularly shareable content object reference model (SCORM) that integrates a collection of eLearning resources, where in the content and the pedagogic approach is to be taken care of by the course author. As a consequence, there is a limitation of learner preferences in the course. Ontology based semantic Web technologies are promising solutions to give an explicit definition of conceptualization on a specified domain and assembly of learning objects with personalized functionality. The research in this study has applied the concept of instructional design (ID) to develop learner-centric learning objects (LO) and adapting learning objects based on learner profiles to maximize the learning outcome.
