Overview
• Why MELCOE?– The problem with e-learning today
• What is MELCOE?
• MELCOE’s Research Agenda
• Opportunities for Collaboration
![Page 3: Introducing the Macquarie E-learning Centre of Excellence (MELCOE) James Dalziel Adjunct Professor and Director james@melcoe.mq.edu.au .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ad813550346856e8b6287/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why MELCOE?
• After the dot com hype, whither e-learning?
• The different dimensions of e-learning– Failed university business model?– Mediocre corporate training model?– The success of online course administration– The rise (and recognition) of Blended learning– The promise of resource sharing
• What about the “learning” in e-learning?
![Page 4: Introducing the Macquarie E-learning Centre of Excellence (MELCOE) James Dalziel Adjunct Professor and Director james@melcoe.mq.edu.au .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ad813550346856e8b6287/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why MELCOE?
• Many projects worldwide about sharing Learning Objects (…..but what is a Learning Object?)
• Significant Government investment, eg Aust– $70M TLF, $50M Toolboxes, $30+M AUTC
• Key requirements: Re-use & interoperability
• How?
![Page 5: Introducing the Macquarie E-learning Centre of Excellence (MELCOE) James Dalziel Adjunct Professor and Director james@melcoe.mq.edu.au .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ad813550346856e8b6287/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why MELCOE?
• Sharing and re-use require interoperability
• Interoperability requires:– Agreed technical standards– Proof of concept trials of standards implementation– Vendor (and OSS) adoption of standards– Systems integration of standards-compliant systems– Market education and adoption
![Page 6: Introducing the Macquarie E-learning Centre of Excellence (MELCOE) James Dalziel Adjunct Professor and Director james@melcoe.mq.edu.au .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ad813550346856e8b6287/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Problem• Failure to understand the importance of
e-learning standards for successful sharing– We will look back in wonder that it was debatable
• “Thousand flower bloom” funding approach is no longer defensible– Massive waste of time/money on one-off resources
• No one e-learning system will do everything– Integration is a necessary requirement
![Page 7: Introducing the Macquarie E-learning Centre of Excellence (MELCOE) James Dalziel Adjunct Professor and Director james@melcoe.mq.edu.au .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ad813550346856e8b6287/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Solution?• E-learning standards are the essential foundation
for interoperability and re-use
• But…immaturity of current e-learning standards– Insufficient practical implementation to date– Requires robust standards and systems integration– Iterative development of standards based on
implementation experience

What is MELCOE?
Vision
"To become an international leader in research, development and implementation
of e-learning architectures and infrastructure using open standards"
![Page 9: Introducing the Macquarie E-learning Centre of Excellence (MELCOE) James Dalziel Adjunct Professor and Director james@melcoe.mq.edu.au .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ad813550346856e8b6287/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is MELCOE?
Mission• To foster projects which develop multi-party open
standards-based e-learning environments.
• To support research into the architectures and infrastructure necessary to support e-learning systems integration, and to contribute these research outcomes global standards development efforts.
![Page 10: Introducing the Macquarie E-learning Centre of Excellence (MELCOE) James Dalziel Adjunct Professor and Director james@melcoe.mq.edu.au .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ad813550346856e8b6287/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MELCOE Goals1. To develop testbeds and prototypes which demonstrate the use of open standards and specifications
for e-learning systems integration.
2. To contribute to international e-learning standards development based on the outcomes of testbeds and prototypes.
3. To work across all education sectors (universities, schools, vocational education and corporate training) in e-learning infrastructure development, both nationally and internationally.
4. To provide internationally recognised research leadership in the development of e-learning architectures and infrastructure models
5. To disseminate information about best practice in the development and implementation of e-learning infrastructure and standards
6. To collaborate with education, government and corporate partners to solve complex e-learning problems
