文章摘要
The increasingly rapid development of the disciplines of petroleum engineering and petroleum
geology has led to new methodologies and interpretation techniques forming new knowledge that should
be offered quickly and efficiently to modern engineers and geologists. This need is equally important for
students as well as for young professionals. Access and training to all scientific information is necessary to
ensure success in their future careers. Today, e-learning has become a common medium for the management
and distribution of on-line educational content. Learning Management Systems (LMSs) were not only
developed to handle a large variety of multimedia content that provides an organized knowledge repository
used to accelerate access to information and skill acquisition; but, LMSs can also keep detailed statistics
on the use of the available material offering a powerful training and educational tool. In this document,
the Petroleum Knowledge Tutorial System, an LMS platform offering a variety of online educational and
training options to petroleum engineers and geologists, is presented. It was created using Moodle, opensource
software that can be used to create on-line courses. The platform covers fundamental educational
concepts in a structured way. It follows an optimized “workflow” that can be applied not only to solve a
specific exercise but also any similar problem encountered over the course of one’s career. The platform was
designed to offer a repository of learning material in various forms and to favor user-platform interactions.
It can be used for training and evaluation purposes through exercises and problem solving that the user
can perform online by using browsing software along with internet access. Special tools were created
and implemented on the platform to assist the user in completing a variety of tasks including performing
exercises involving calculations with given data and plots of points or lines on graphs without leaving
the learning environment. Furthermore, videos with detailed explanations follow each learning module
and provide the full solution to every exercise. The LMS automatically keeps a large statistical database
including the users’ access to activities on the platform that can be exported and further processed to
improve the platform functionality and evaluate the users’ performance.
