Towards Dynamic and Interoperable Educational Contents: Creating an Editorial Chain

The advance of technology has now made it possible for learners to learn at their own pace and at the time of their choice; they have at their disposal a variety of exercises created by pedagogues that enable them to acquire particular knowledge. Therefore, creating repositories of interoperable exercises is a challenge we must answer. Here, we describe an editorial chain which allows pedagogues to create patterns of exercises, the parameters of which are chosen in a given domain defined by constraints on these parameters. We discuss our choices – on the representation of the exercises (we choose to implement an extended IMS-QTI v2.1 specification); – on the execution of the exercises (using a clone engine or generating php or jsp files). Then, we show some examples.
