Iterative and Participative Building of the Learning Unit According to the IMS-Consortium Specifications

Abstract

This paper presents an iterative and participative approach of designing, automatically producing and using a reuse learning unit. Our approach proposes five design processes: analysis, design, implementation, evaluation, and validation and publication. They are followed by the teacher to build the learning unit. Our approach is also systemic. It proposes a set of tools which supports the designing and the building of learning unit for the e-learning LMS. The designing tool proposes set of formalisms which represent the graphical objects allowing the graphical representation of the educational scenario of the learning unit. The designing and authoring tools produce the learning unit according to the IMS-consortium specifications. The learning unit is a package of physical files. It placed after their building under a sharable repository to be reused by other organisms (universities, companies, etc.). We use the CopperCore player to play the educational scenario of the learning unit.
