Editing and Managing Learning Objects Using Agrega Offline

Abstract

Agrega is a federation of Scorm 2004 learning object repositories, with nodes situated in each of the Autonomous Regions of Spain. Each repository offers a group of services for managing and using the learning objects that it stores. The operations performed on the objects are based on the metadata described in an xml document called imsmanifest which every object has. Together with Agrega, a set of tools has been developed aimed at the end user, for use outside the repositories. One of these is the Agrega offline tool. It consists of a group of utilities integrated under a single tool which enables you to perform editing and management operations similar to those which can be performed on the learning objects from this node. This article describes the functionalities offered by Agrega Offline and how they are applied in different use scenarios.
