Abstract :
E-Learning is as much or more related to learning than technologies, but technology specialists have been commissioned, often alone, to create specifications and standards for E-Learning, focusing much more on technologies than learning. Learning is an internal process that occurs in the minds of people, so it is always a personal process. As each student has their own cognitive style and learning preferences, a goal that began with the application of technology to education is the personalization of instruction. One of the main obstacles to automate personalization is the lack of specifications and standards for describing learning objects at different levels of granularity. This work extends the concept of Content Ecosystem, giving semantic definitions for each Educational Object in the hierarchy.
