An approach for developing interoperable online content

© 2016 IEEE. Interactive online content development is one of the main challenges universities are facing today. Therefore, they require tools to facilitate the creation of digital content for teachers and make the production process sustainable. In addition, universities will have to provide resources to teachers such as recording studios, qualified staff and guidelines. With this in mind, University Polytechnic of Cartagena has created the Center of Production of Digital Content. This paper presents the UPCTMedia platform created by this center to assist teachers in coping with the creation of online video-based content. UPCTMedia supports the recording and publication of videos. Using UPCTMedia, teachers can autonomously create contents and add evaluation test questions to them. Once the recorded videos are published, they can be integrated into any e-learning platform which supports LTI interoperability standard. This saves time and effort for teachers, and reuse and maintenance are improved. This paper describes some UPCTMedia design aspects, with special emphasis on LTI-based interoperability.
