Making Courseware Reusable
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss how the development of reusable courseware can be supported by using modularization and ontologies. We argue that those concepts will enhance the quality of courseware and its cooperative development as well as the degree of its reusability and exchange. An adequate development process is presented, and it is shortly sketched how to use the resulting courseware in a new manner. Our goal is to provide an approach to develop adaptable learning material that can be reused by different authors and educators and even students for many target groups in different contexts.

Reusable and Usable Environment for the Digital Courseware Domain
This paper considers a functional framework that creates a usable authoring support environment (ASE) for digital course design, and outputs reusable components. Within the context of considering the courseware domain as a domain of interactive software systems, we developed an ASE prototype. The objectives of this prototype include the provision of a usable authoring tool to develop interactiv...
متن کاملAnother Brick in the Courseware or How to Create Reusable Learning Objects
This paper describes guidelines to identify and design reusable learning objects. The guidelines are the output of a project called eduBITE. Learning objects are treated as the smallest units of learning material development and reuse. General and specific technical and didactic learning object properties are specified. To support the learning object implementation process a WYSIWYG LO-Editor e...
متن کاملA Practical Strategy for the Modularization of Courseware
In order to enable courseware reuse, it is necessary to decompose learning materials into manageable learning objects. Most scientific projects and organizations that are concerned with courseware reuse and exchange like Ariadne [2], IMS Global Learning Consortium [4], Educause [3], the IEEE Learning Technologies Standards Committee [8] with its Learning Object Metadata (LOM) [7], and the Germa...
متن کاملDeveloping Modular and Adaptable Courseware Using TeachML
This paper presents the use of an XML grammar for two complementary projects--CHAMELEON (Cooperative Hypermedia Adaptive MultimEdia Learning Objects) and EIT (Enabling Informal Teamwork). Areas of applications are modular courseware documents and the collaborative authoring process of didactical units. A number of requirements for a suitable document format are identified. After comparing exist...
متن کاملA Generator and a Meta Specification Language for Courseware
Courseware has to reflect the learning situation coined by contents, learning goals, characteristics of the learner, technical conditions etc. The efficient creation of appropriately designed courseware relies on flexible representations of reusable instructional material and learning circumstances. Contradictory approaches of different instructional design schools give little advice in case of...
