CBT & eLearning
“eLearning should not be confused
with traditional forms of CBT, which is
nothing more than recorded
education”
Drucker, Delphi Group
“Through the Internet, education will
become learner- and goal-oriented
rather than faculty-centered”
Lesser, Klein, MIT

Important Remark
If we intend to implement a real application:
 Better – CBT Tools
eLSE is a research project (not real application):
 We need eLearning Tools:
 New architectures (service-oriented)

Semantic Web, Semantic Grid
 Standards – architectures, protocols, e-content, …

ADL SCORM
 Multi-communication access to information sources (mobile
devices)
 Agent-based approaches
 Knowledge technologies
 Application integration
 Profiling
