Paper Abstract:
|
The objective of our work is to develop within AVUNET, an authoring package (AVUNET Author) that makes it
possible for instructors who are not information technology specialists to create interactive learning modules within a
distance teaching platform. A pedagogic model based on a conceptual network is used as support for the construction
system. Based on this model, the system will guide the user in the tree structure, by indicating the necessary concepts for
comprehension of other concepts at a higher level. The users of the authoring module are teachers, whatever their
information technology experience is. The content designed is made accessible to the learner through a computer
connected to the network. Tests in real situation are being done at the University Ferhat Abbas (Setif, Algeria) in
collaboration with a group of instructors and students. This experience has helped us to outline a methodology to create
interactive modular courses (bag pedagogic) accessible on Internet and CDROM. |
