Method for management of learning objects in learning management system and learning management system

Abstract

The present invention provides a novel and nonobvious method and system for managing learning objects within a learning management system. Users can select various learning materials in the system, which are called "learning objects", and can gather these learning objects directly on the system in a special directory or "learning folder". Users can create and delete learning folders, and can modify each learning folder by adding or deleting learning objects in the folder. Finally, although each learning folder created by a user is initially accessible only to that user, the user can allow other learners in the system to access the folder by establishing a "learning link" for that folder, where the learning link indicates Which other learners can access the learning folder.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of online learning management system, in particular to the management and utilization of learning objects in the learning management system. Background technique [0002] A Learning Management System (LMS) can provide complete management of the online learning experience - from content creation to course delivery. In the prototypical learning management system, one or more courses may be distributed over a computer communication network for delivery to students enrolled in the one or more corresponding courses. Courses offered can include content ranging from merely text-based instructional material to fully interactive live classroom settings hosted entirely over a computer communication network. By now, the ability of learning management systems to deliver content has become so advanced that almost any learning experience previously delivered through in-person instruction can now be delivered entirely online and ev...
