On the Generation of E-Learning Resources Using Business Process, Natural Language Processing, and Web Services

E-learning resources are pieces of knowledge used for achieving a learning objective. One of the problems in e-training in the workplace has to do with the lack of relevance of learning resources. Here, we define a learning resource as a resource that contains information about a task or refers to a task realized within the context of an organizational process. We describe a set of activities for the generation of learning resources of objective, content, activity, and assessment types, which correspond to the pedagogical elements in learning objects. The generation goes from a documented business process using natural language processing and the learning resources produced are packaged as web services for independence and reusability purposes. Each learning resource generated is independent since it may participate in several formative sequences on its own, and it is reusable since it may be used many times without any change.
