ABSTRACT: The Interactive Digital Television (iDTV) has facilitated and expanded the communication and interaction in activities of knowledge acquisitions, entertainment and recreation in Distance Learning field. This new way of teaching and learning has been called t-Learning. In this context, the Learning Objects (LOs) have an important role to assist in the electronic courses’ development. Due the fast progress of e-Learning, some efforts to standardization have appeared in order to enable the reusability of educational contents and interoperability among systems, and one of these standards is the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). Therefore, the main goal of this work is to present an extension of SCORM aiming to adapt it in order to improve the search and navigation of LOs with educational content for t-Learning. That will be done through an authoring tool named T-SCORM ADAPTER, which will be able to apply this extension in a fast and efficient way.
