E-study resources: How we can design them for re-use in many situations?

Creation of interactive multimedia study recourses used in e-learning courses is a demanding and time-consuming activity. However, so far there is no manual for the creators of these resources that would enable them to do it in the proper way. The teachers, who are usually the only creators of the materials, are forced to improvise. This contribution presents two approaches for study recourses creation. The first one is an original solution of the elearning recourses design, created at University of Zilina in 2006. The methodology uses a scenario creation comes out from analogy of movie scenarios because the interactive multimedia study recourses are quasi movies. The second method is more systematic, it is based on looking at e-study resource design as at partial information system design. One way of systematic analyze of informatics systems design is to use the Service Oriented Architecture for it. Both methods endeavour to achieve interoperability of e-study resources, therefore there are used standards for resources saving and delivering.
