Contribution of Ontologies and Utilities of Interoperability Standardization in E-Learning

Abstract

In this chapter, the authors divide their work into three parts. The first part deals with the contributions of ontologies in e-learning systems and at the same time identifies the important role played by interoperability to make different systems work together based on norms and standards. The second part concerns the proposal of examples of practices of standards and standards in e-learning in institutions of higher education. Indeed, four broad categories of needs justify the use of standards and standards of e-learning based on the six fundamental characteristics sought by different actors in terms of standardization in e-learning. In the third part, they build the importance of interoperability in the development of e-learning from standards and standards especially in higher education. Thus, they deal with the planning of the enhancement of an ILE, the writing and presentation of teaching materials, the management of identity and access to resources, the sharing and archiving of teaching materials, and in the end, the addition of new technopedagogical tools to EIAH.
