چکیده
This paper presents an improved software estimation model, which uses to estimate developing effort of e-Learning's contents. This model is called the e-Learning courseware Effort Estimate Model (EEEM). This model uses special designed storyboard to delineate the e-Learning courseware's contents and define the measurement metrics. Research was conducted using statistical data from the real world e-Learning courseware development. Detail implementation data of 60 courseware were collected and analyzed. The “Web Model” was adapted to assess the webpage development. The number of web page, test-page, graphics and multimedia elements in each courseware are analyzed. The EEEM model is designed to estimate the e-Learning courseware development time and effort. The proposed model is more accurate than the previous models. The previous Web Model has Mean Absolute Percentage Error: MAPE =83.28 % and the new EEEM Model :MAPE=16.86%. The output of this model is the courseware development effort (in person-hour). The new model can help developers to save money and time that cause from estimation.

متن کاملCreating and Publishing Courseware Independent of the Authoring System
The effort for creating content for e-learning applications is high. For authors it is more comfortable to keep their well known authoring system they are familiar with. In this environment they could also reuse existing content. By using modern web standards for presentation and an XML-based courseware format we meet future requirements and are platform independent. We propose a tool chain bas...
