Abstract

In the Dynamic Content Management (DCM) system one focuses on removing the tight association between learning material to specific courses. In this system one defines a conceptual atomic unit of knowledge and build material by the organization of these knowledge elements from a repository. The system allows an educator to create an arbitrary collection of knowledge elements, tag them with meta-information as a single unit and link the unit with previously saved and similar aggregations. The DCM system uses idea of Concept Maps to model the relationships between the knowledge elements that can be created by the instructor or the educator. A preliminary implementation of the system as a client-server architecture is described where the server is programmed in Python and the client as a Java application, made available through Java Web Start.
