Quality E-learning in Deutschland
QED stands for Quality E-learning in Deutschland and is a German consortium that aims to create a quality brand for German e-learning. The consortium includes IT companies such as IBM, IAO (Fraunhofer) and MMS (T-Systems), as well as an SME - FBD, a university - UDE, and the German Institute for Standardization.
QED work is focused on four different work packages: WP1: Quality and Process Management; WP2: Indexing and Retrieval and Rich Media; WP3: Mobile Learning; WP4: Standards.
Our involvement is through IBM Germany. We lead WP2; take an active part in WP3; and will be in charge of the development of a Quality Integration Tool that is part of WP1.
We plan to make use of the following assets and technologies of the IMT department:
- Juru
- Juru XML
- Transcription and Indexing
- OCR for indexing
- Pesto
- Progressive Transmission of Image Content
- Cellular camera - text OCR and Barcode reading
- Mobile search
- Pirate
- Pocket LDS
- MobiDic
- Including Location awareness
- Mobile Media Framework
