First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- reading first metadata associated with a first e-learning course;
comparing the first metadata with metadata associated with a desired e-learning course;
determining a dissimilarity between the first course and the desired e-learning course based on the comparison of the first metadata with metadata associated with the desired course; and
determining a cost of transforming the first course into the desired course.

Abstract
First metadata associated with a first e-learning course are read, the first metadata are compared with metadata associated with a desired e-learning course, a dissimilarity between the first course and a desired e-learning course is determined based on a comparison of the first metadata with metadata associated with the desired course, and a cost of transforming the first course into the desired course is determined.

12. An apparatus comprising a machine-readable storage medium having executable-instructions stored thereon, the instructions including:
-
an executable code segment for causing a processor to read metadata associated with an e-learning course;
an executable code segment for causing a processor to determine a dissimilarity between the course and a desired e-learning course based on a comparison of the metadata with metadata associated with the desired course; and
an executable code segment for causing a processor to determine a cost of transforming the course into the desired course. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

16. A system for estimating evaluating a cost of transforming an existing e-learning course into a desired e-learning course, the system comprising:
-
a dissimilarity calculation engine operable for determining a dissimilarity between a first existing course of electronic learning resource files and a desired course of electronic learning resource files; and
a cost calculation engine operable for determining a cost of transforming the first existing course into the desired course. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
