Paper Abstract:
|
In order to support instructional designers in the creation of distance courses, involving learning contents, collaborative
activities, and assessment tests, a suite of visual languages are proposed. In particular, we define an extension of UML
Activity Diagrams, named eXtended Learning Activity Diagram, to make them suitable for defining e-learning courses
based on e-learning activities. We also propose the Adaptive Self consistent Learning Object SET language for defining
learning contents, the SYnchronous Collaborative Learning Environment used to define synchronous and asynchronous
learning environments, and the Test Maker Language for defining assessment and self-assessment tests. The proposed
visual languages have been implemented in the SEAMAN tool (System for E-learning Activity MANagement) which
provides means to fully design, implement, and deploy adaptive
e-learning courses. |
