First International Workshop on Learning Object Discovery & Exchange (LODE'07)

The LODE'07 workshop was held on September 18, 2007 in conjunction with the 2nd European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL07), Crete, Greece.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES

Although the use of learning (content) management systems is becoming common in most educational organizations and the number of educational resources available online, for free or by subscription, is huge, most of these resources are hidden in repositories and cannot be easily found, which hampers their potential use and reuse.

The workshop brought together researchers and practitioners working at unlocking the educational content hidden in repositories and facilitating the retrieval and exchange of this content. The workshop provided an international forum to highlight the state-of-the-art and discuss the issues and innovative approaches in the field.
