Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the use of Information Visualization techniques to improve the access to learning object repositories. We elaborate on a framework that was developed for this goal and on a prototype that was designed to enable users to access learning object repositories in a more flexible way than filling out electronic forms. In a second part, we present a case study in which we used the developed framework to visualize all the proceedings of the EdMedia. Users can use this application to find publications that were presented at the EdMedia conference over time. In the last part we try to elaborate on our ideas to visualize the internal components of learning objects and how we will try to visualize networks of interoperable learning object repositories.
