Abstract

The Knowledge Society is increasing the demand for tools to manage the didactic knowledge stored in Learning Objects Repositories, and needed by teachers to generate courseware. In this respect, still there is a lack of automated tools for the analysis and retrieval of learning resources from such repositories. Here we propose the use of the OLAP technique to help teachers to specify a didactic ontology by which performing quantitative and qualitative analysis of Internet-based Learning Objects Repositories. The related system is presented, together with a case study based on real repositories.
