Resumen
El gran desarrollo que han alcanzado las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (TIC) en la actualidad dan lugar a nuevas oportunidades en la esfera educativa. La plataforma de enseñanza- aprendizaje, Moodle, es de gran utilidad en el ámbito educativo, ofreciendo un entorno de aprendizaje virtual abierto, gratuito y basado en pedagogía constructivista social. Expandir sus funcionalidades, integrándolo con otras plataformas y aplicaciones, resulta de gran utilidad al lograr la unificación de la información. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo lograr interoperabilidad entre el Moodle y el Repositorio Institucional Dspace para proporcionar un servicio mejorado más eficiente.
Con el interés de importar y utilizar desde Moodle los recursos localizados en Dspace, se implementaron dos plugins para la plataforma. Se estableció la conexión mediante la REST API del repositorio, accediendo de forma sencilla a la información almacenada en este. Los plugins permiten añadir a la lista de actividades de un curso un nuevo recurso con un enlace al repositorio, permitiendo navegar en las diferentes comunidades y colecciones del DSpace para seleccionar un item. La integración de estos sistemas permite aumentar la disponibilidad de los recursos, siendo utilizados por los docentes de las distintas asignaturas.
The great development achieved by the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) at present provide new opportunities in the education field. The teaching and learning platform Moodle is really useful in teaching facilitating an open and free virtual learning context based on the social and constructive pedagogy. It is really important to expand its functional possibilities in an integration process with other platforms and apps in order to unify and compact the information. This research project has the main objective to achieve the interoperability between Moodle and the Institutional Dspace Repository to provide an improved and more efficient service. With the main purpose of importing and using from Moodle the resources found in Dspace two plugins for the platform were implemented. The connection was reestablished through the REST API of the repository having access in a simple way to the information stored in it. The plugins allow to add to the list of activities of a course a new resource with a link to the repository making possible to navigate in the different communities and collections of the Dspace in order to select an item. The integration of those systems allows increasing the availability of the resources which can be used by teachers at the different subjects.
